Sarah is a Masters level Counsellor and a qualified professional Coach. She has extensive experience facilitating counselling services amongst Hong Kong’s expat community. Having previously worked in the marketing industry in both London and Hong Kong, Sarah is familiar with the challenges of navigating professional and personal conflicts within different cultures and global environments.

Sarah’s therapeutic values are compassion, authenticity and openness. Using a collaborative and person-centred approach, Sarah helps her clients to enhance their self-awareness, discover unhelpful patterns and understand what is holding them back. Clients are often overwhelmed, confused or disconnected from their feelings. Fundamental to Sarah’s therapeutic style is to gently assist her clients to explore their inner-most emotions, helping to balance and reconcile their rational and emotional selves. Her clients develop new perspectives and coping mechanisms supportive to their well-being and personal growth.

Counselling sessions are also naturally tailored to Sarah’s client’s specific needs, placing emphasis on their desired values, empowering her clients to independently achieve their therapeutic requirements and goals.

Sarah treats individuals aged 18 – 55 with anxiety, depression, trauma and complex trauma, family and relationship issues, attachment issues, grief and stress. Sarah practises as an integrative counsellor, blending different therapeutic modalities according to clients’ individual requirements. Modalities include: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, Internal Family Systems (IFS) – a ‘parts’ based approach, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), mindfulness, somatic and grounding techniques.

Sarah is English and loves living Hong Kong with her husband and three sons as well as travelling the world, yoga, running, hiking and reading.
