Sarah Backhouse

Counsellor MBACP · Stevenage

I offer a calm and grounded space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings at your pace, and work through your concerns together.

How Sarah works with people

I work with adults facing bereavement, a life-limiting diagnosis, caring responsibilities and other life changes. You may feel worn down, unseen, unsure of who you are now or be carrying a decision that feels impossible to live with. These experiences deserve time and care, without being rushed or tidied up. Together we'll go at your pace, and build a relationship that helps you to put feelings into words, find your own way of grieving, and speak to yourself more kindly. You may come to sit with anxiety, uncertainty or loneliness in a new way, and rebuild a sense of yourself and your place in the world. Feeling heard and accepted as you are can make room for new perspectives to emerge. I will meet you with warmth and respect, valuing your individuality and autonomy at every step. My experience as a hospice volunteer counsellor brings a calm, unhurried feel to my practice. Reaching out can feel daunting, especially when you're already carrying so much. There's no right way to begin, and you don't have to have the right words ready. If you'd like to talk about whether counselling might help, I'd be glad to hear from you. Please get in touch whenever you feel ready. I offer a free, 15-minute introductory call. We can meet online, or in person in Stevenage, North Hertfordshire.
