I’m Sarah, a neuro-affirming integrative counsellor offering online and in-person sessions for adults and young people aged 16+.
I work with clients navigating neurodivergence, such as ADHD and autism, as well as anyone seeking support with life’s challenges.
I offer support to those who may be:
-
Feeling burnt out or stressed
-
Struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm and low mood
-
Exploring their own neurodivergence, self-identifying, or processing a new or late diagnosis
-
Exploring identity, relationships, or communication difficulties
-
Parenting challenges, neurodivergent families and carers
How can counselling help:
-
A place to talk - a safe space where your feelings can be heard and made sense of
-
Increase self-understanding – improve emotional wellbeing & self-awareness
-
Manage overwhelm – find coping strategies for difficult emotions that work for you
-
Explore neurodivergence – whether self-identifying or newly diagnosed
-
Identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts – understand your thought patterns and emotional triggers
-
Build self-acceptance & implement boundaries – increase self-compassion and find the confidence to honor your boundaries
I offer a calm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can be yourself, talk through what you're struggling with and find support and understanding.
Taking that first step can feel scary, but you don’t have to do it alone. Get in touch and to see how I can support you.
About Me
Sarah Pearson
Integrative Counsellor MBACP
Hello, and welcome!
I’m Sarah, a trauma-informed integrative counsellor offering online and in-person sessions for adults and young people aged 16+.
I have experience of working with neurodivergent clients, including ADHD and Autistic people, and I offer a supportive, accepting and neuro-affirming space.
I value each individual's unique way of thinking and feeling.
I work from a strengths-based approach while acknowledging that navigating a world not always designed for neurodivergence can feel challenging.
I have supported clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, parenting challenges including parenting neurodivergent children, relationship challenges, bereavement, communication and feeling misunderstood in life.
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.
I'm not here to give advice or tell you what to do, but to support you in finding a way forward that works for you.
I have worked with clients both on a long and short term basis and aim to work together with you towards your goals.
I have a gentle approach and will always work at your pace.
