Therapeutic Approach
Sarah's therapeutic approach is ethical, client-centred, creative, and mindful. She integrates a range of techniques to meet the unique needs of each client.
Sarah also takes a holistic view, recognising that mental health is connected to many aspects of daily life, and tailors her approach to each client's needs.
The Therapy Space
Our clinic has a cosy, comfy therapy pod, or just a chair if you prefer, a dollhouse, LEGO wall, arts and crafts, games like Uno and chess, sensory toys, vision board tools, and resources for neuroscience-based organisational work — making therapy creative, fun, and engaging for all ages. Sit, or lay down — the space is yours for the session.
