Sara Lindsay Humanistic Counsellor in Guildford, Surrey

Our working relationship is important in helping you work through what’s brought you to counselling. How I aim to help us build that working relationship is by offering you:

Professionalism
Caring and Empathy
Non-judgemental, I want to understand who you are and what life is like for you
Integrity in providing counselling to suit you
Attentive to your story, your needs and your feelings

I have skills and experience of working with a variety of issues, including:
•Alcohol & Drug recovery
•Depression
•Stress and Anxiety
•Relationship issues: 1-1 work and couples counselling
•Personal Development: making the most of who you are
•Grief and terminal illness
•Major life changes including redundancy
•History of physical, sexual, mental and emotional abuse
•Young People’s issues: finding your identity, family and peer issues
•Personal Identify: including life choices, cross-dressing
•Working with counselling students to complete statutory counselling hours
•Telephone Counselling and Skype Counselling

All of the above is about our human adjustment to loss and change that can apply to just about anyone of us.

I use core psychological models in my work with clients, from the Humanistic school of practice: Person-centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis. I also use CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Solution-Focussed Therapy in my work.
