About Me
Sarah Pearson
Integrative Counsellor MBACP
Hello, and welcome!
I’m Sarah, a qualified integrative counsellor offering online or in-person sessions for adults and teens aged 16+, supporting those navigating life with ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergence.
I am passionate about advocating for neurodivergent individual's, recognising the importance of understanding, support, and acceptance. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel accepted and let go of any pressure to mask or conform to societal norms.
I value each individuals unique way of thinking, feeling and being and work from a strengths-based approach whilst also acknowledging the challenges that can come with neurodivergence.
I also have experience working with parent carers, and I understand the particular stresses, responsibilities, and challenges that come with this role.
I have worked with clients experiencing challenges with Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, burnout, bereavement, divorce, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and identity issues.
If you’re looking for a confidential, supportive, and empathetic space to explore what you're going through, I’m here to listen. My aim is to help you explore your challenges and find a way forward that works for you.
My Approach
As a qualified integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of theories and therapeutic approaches, adapting my approach to meet your unique needs.
This flexibility allows us to explore what works best for you, whether that’s understanding your emotions, identifying patterns in your life, or finding effective coping strategies.
My aim is to provide a space where you feel safe to explore what 's worrying you or what you are finding challenging. I'm not here to give advice or tell you what to do, but to work together to find the best way forward.
At times, I may support you in reflecting on how your past experiences could be influencing how you feel or respond to situations today. I believe this kind of exploration can help you gain greater self-understanding and move towards self-acceptance and personal growth.
I have a gentle approach and will always work at your pace.
