Sarah Hall
“I was unimaginably fortunate to have met Sarah in 2010 after I had lost my mother to cancer. I was in excrutiating emotional pain.
Swaying daily between anxiety, depression guilt, deep despair and insomnia. I really couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, my world as I had known it had collapsed. On reflection I remember that I had almost crawled into Sarah’s room seeking some relief from my pain.
I continued seeing Sarah for a year, at that point in my life her consultation room was the only place I felt safe, understood and nurtured. She was exceptionally supportive and compassionate, it was so clear to me that her approach to work was far beyond that of working with the mind and body, Sarah is a truly gifted healer working from her heart, I always walked away from our sessions feeling she gave me her all, so much more then I had thought possible from another human-being in a professional capacity.
Over the years, in our sessions there were many tears, laughter and so many aha moments, where I had gradually began to see the light again, my wounded heart could open a little more and my mind could turn that corner, to see things a little differently,
Sarah helped me to be ok with my struggles, my wounds and the grieving process I was going through. Thanks to Sarah’s help I’m in a stronger place today, I am no longer paralysed with anxiety and depression, I am able to make plans for the future and look forward to creating a life that makes me fulfilled and happy, 3 years ago it was a very different story. I still miss my beautiful mother, she was my world and that doesn’t change today, what has changed today is that I realise life has its ups and downs, and loss is a part of life but we can heal, learn and grow stronger. Sarah helped me to make that transition in my life. I am forever grateful to her and her ability to heal others is profound.”
“From the moment you walk into the room you feel the warmth of Sarah’s personality. She is very good at assessing how to help you and does it with gentle steps. She has been an enormous help and encouragement to me as we have worked together on my phobia and OCD. I recommend her very highly indeed.”
“Sarah helped me to stop smoking with hypnotherapy in 2010. I still see her from time to time for anxiety. I am still a none smoker!”
“I came to Sarah for CBT. I’d been signed off from work and had some serious stress issues. Sarah listened and helped me to make sense of the confusion I was feeling. She also taught me ways to help myself. I feel strong and in control now. I always know that I can come back for some more help if I ever need to. As a therapist and a person, I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

What do you love most about your job?
Supporting clients to help bring about positive change to their lives.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I began my career with a dual focus on caring and education; this dual focus remains at the heart of my practice. My first degree, psychology with sociology, inspired me to become a therapist and I initially trained in psychotherapy, registering with the NRHP. I then undertook further training as a counsellor and registered with the UKCP. Pursuing an interest in comparing the effectiveness of a range of therapeutic interventions, including CBT and hypnotherapy, I undertook an MSc that helped me to combine several therapeutic approaches and begin to develop the integrated approach that is now my speciality.
My developing practice led to a renewed interest in the causes of stress and, after a further period of training, she registered with the ISMA and began offering a stress management service to industry. Returning to education, I undertook a further advanced post graduate diploma in psychotherapy allowing me to reflect on a decade of practice within a structured environment. I also began supervising other therapists.
Why should our clients choose you?
As well as enjoying my work , I have undertaken unique postgraduate research on the most effective treatments for a wide range of emotional conditions . This research, along with further studies and over fifteen years of experience, allows me to offer a wide range of therapeutic interventions tuned to specific individual needs.
