Meet Sarah

Nesting Place Counselling & Therapy, is safe and non judgmental counselling & therapy space for women.

I work with women around upsetting and distressing life events, such as experiences of violence and abuse. I offer a compassionate space to explore how this has affected you.

I work with new mums around the transition to motherhood and around experiences of birth trauma. I empower you to change intergenerational patterns so you can be present with your child.

I work with new mums and their infants to support bonding and attachment when this has been tricky.

I am a counsellor with 16 years experience, and a mother of four.

I listen, collaborate, and create a safe space for you to discover your strengths and resilience, and together, we find ways to help you heal and grow.

More about Sarah

Why Nesting Place?

A nest is an environment which is cocooned and safe, where new things can emerge, and take shape, before you spread your wings and fly. A nest is also a place where the next generation are nurtured.

At Nesting Place counselling & therapy, we are big believers in your strengths and resilience, and the many colours of your wings which can become visible when you have space to make sense of your life experiences. We are also all about building relationships between parents and children, and supporting the next generation.
