Guided by Sarah - Therapy and therapeutic coaching

Hello, I am Sarah, a trauma-informed counsellor, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist and therapeutic coach based in Bristol and online., helping individuals from aged 16+. I work with the whole person, and I have lived experience of ADHD and navigating the world as a Highly Sensitive Person. My practice provides a space for reflection and meaningful change.

I work with, but am not limited to, those experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, loss, sleep difficulties, as well as those seeking healthier relationships and a clearer sense of purpose. We will explore together at your own pace. 

My approach is relational, which means our relationship is central to our work together. This is a space where you don’t need to mask or hide any part of yourself. Every person is unique, and I incorporate a range of approaches to suit each individual. If you wish, creative and embodiment practices can be woven into our sessions. This can be through art, collage, poetry, meditation, movement, visualisations, rituals, ancestral, inner child, and parts work.

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based, forward-focused therapy that combines talking therapies, neuroscience and relaxation. It is a safe and effective way to make positive changes in your life. By using hypnosis, it allows you to access your subconscious mind to break negative habits and build positive pathways. For existing hypnotherapy clients, I can also work with phobias, such as fears around flying and swimming, amongst others. If you are stressed and anxious, don’t want to talk about feelings, or have ASD and find it overwhelming, hypnotherapy is for you.

Therapeutic coaching can help you work towards creating positive changes. This can be integrated with the hypnotherapy to help with motivation and implementing those desired changes. 

I am passionate about equality and diversity and believe in creating an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome. I am fortunate to have experience of counselling a wide range of individuals of different ages, backgrounds, and cultures. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally. 

I’ve always been inspired by spirituality and see it as a deeply personal journey unique to each individual. Regardless of your beliefs, I love helping people find meaning—whether spiritual, religious, or agnostic.

I am part of a network of Bristol-based neurodiverse therapists.  Attention Allies consists of experienced and qualified therapists who offer online, in-room, outdoor and blended counselling, psychotherapy and coaching to people who are diagnosed with or identify as having ADHD as well as other forms of neurodiversity, including ASD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia etc. You can find us at: https://attention-allies.or
