Meet Sarah.

Hello I’m Sarah, the woman behind Empowered Within Counselling.

I’ve been training as a Counsellor for the last 5 years, and I am a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists). This means that I have a professional and legal obligation to adhere to the guidelines set out by BACP.

I love supporting and enabling my clients to heal, grow and become their true self. I believe that counselling is a journey and when I work with a client, I am on that journey with them.

With over 20 years of experience, including within the NHS, of offering support to people in various settings, I bring maturity and an innate understanding of other people’s needs, together with my own lived experience. I have experience working with neurodiversity and I am developing my knowledge and skills in this area further.

I am very committed to ensuring that my clients receive the right support for their needs.

The BACP Values I Follow

  • Treat my clients with respect and dignity

  • Work with my clients to help alleviate symptoms of personal distress and suffering

  • Help improve my client’s wellbeing and capabilities

  • Help my clients improve the quality of their relationships with others

  • Help my clients build resilience and effectiveness

  • Help my clients develop a sense of self that is meaningful to them

  • Appreciating my client’s journey and their individual experiences

  • Protect the safety of my clients

  • Ensure the integrity of my relationship with my client

  • Continue to develop and apply my professional knowledge

  • Strive to provide a fair and adequate service that meets my individual client’s needs.

My Approach

As a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, self-understanding and positive change, when they are provided with the right conditions. I believe that my responsibility is to provide the right conditions for my clients to identify and further explore how they are feeling and in doing so, develop a deeper understanding of themself, their emotions and how to manage them. I use various other approaches to enable this, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Transactional Analysis, Compassion-Focussed Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy.

Sessions are available face-to-face in Rotherham or online

I offer clients the chance to work through their issues in a safe, non-judgmental space, using an integrative approach, which helps me to meet client’s individual needs.

I have a counselling room, based in West Melton on the outskirts of Rotherham, that I use for face-to-face sessions.

To make my sessions as accessible as possible, I also offer online sessions.
