Sara Todd

How to get from where you are to where you want to be?

Have you ever felt lost for words? Or perhaps you hide behind a wall of words?

Dialogue is often useful and yet at times we need other means to access the parts of ourselves that yearn for healing or expression. Through looking at our body language and what is happening in the body we can find out more about ourselves.

Sara is a qualified Integrative Gestalt Counsellor. Counselling using dialogue can itself be supportive. Techniques such as sandplay can tap into the 'known unknown', supporting you with making decisions and or with accessing buried feelings. Sara works creatively, with awareness of the process. In sessions you may work with writing, objects, dreams as well as dialogue. You will need only use methods you are happy with.

A qualified member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Sara works with clients presenting with issues including eating disorders, disability, bereavement, anxiety, career crises, relationship breakup, issues around sexuality, parenting struggles. Sara has a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Wealden College and a post-graduate Certificate in Creative Writing from the University of Sussex. She has worked with Mindful and Creative methods for several years. She has experienced the therapeutic benefits of creative activity combined with a counselling dialogue.

Sara worked as a counsellor at the Brighton and Hove Federation of Disabled People and at the Brighton Women's Centre. She operates within an ethical framework providing counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. She offers a warm and friendly approach.
