Sarah Herlem

Sarah is trained in the Person Centred approach believing that everyone has the potential to grow given the supportive environment to do so. She offers empathic and non-judgemental counselling to individuals offering a safe space for clients to explore problems, thoughts and feelings. She gently encourages clients to draw on their own resources to work through issues. Sarah's way of working is strongly influenced by her Mindfulness practice and her interest in Focusing, listening to the bodily felt sense, a practice developed by Dr Eugene Gendlin.

Sarah's previous work includes facilitating a creative arts programme with the homeless in Oxford, working with children with special needs and with vulnerable families in the community. She has worked with a diverse range of clients and issues. She was counselling residents at a hostel for homeless clients and parents at a children's centre before recently moving to Brighton.

Sarah is experienced in working with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, self esteem, abuse, self harm, loss, drug/alcohol dependence, work, relationships, fertility and miscarriage.

Each session will last 50 minutes and the number of sessions can depend on the individual requirements of each client.
