Sarah | Counsellor

Counselling Huddersfield

If you are looking for a qualified Counsellor to help you through a difficult time, you have come to the right place. I am a calm, friendly and professional Counsellor, and I believe passionately in helping others to improve their mental health and quality of life.

I offer confidential one to one counselling; either face to face counselling in Huddersfield, or telephone/ online counselling nationwide, whichever suits you best.

The name of my practice is I'm listening because I really listen to my clients, I calmly listen to whatever it is that each client wants to talk about; I listen without judgement.

I do not believe that ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to counselling, I respect that each client is an individual who has a unique set of life experiences, and a unique response to them - I try my best to understand you and what you have experienced, and I tailor my approach accordingly.

I offer you some time in your busy day to day life that is just for you; for you to talk about the things you may not be able to talk about with anyone else, for you to identify and explore your feelings and experiences, for you to start to understand things differently, for you to feel heard.

Counselling can vary dramatically, depending on the Counsellor – the type of counselling they offer, and who they are as an individual. It is very important to find the Counsellor who suits you; who offers you the kind of counselling, the kind of support, that you need at this time, and who you feel comfortable enough with to explore your current situation with.

Online therapy

I offer telephone or zoom counselling, as well as face-to-face.

In terms of confidentiality and the type of support I offer, my way of working is the same in all settings, whether online, over the telephone, or in person, face-to-face. The only difference being the location.

If you would prefer to work over the telephone or via zoom, we would arrange a time for me to call/ zoom you; you would need to be in a private, comfortable place, where you are able to talk about things openly. I would be in a private room, on my own; and everything we talk about would be confidential.
