Sarah Boucher

Counsellor

A qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP, I welcome adults from all walks of life and experiencing all sorts of challenges to my practice. You don’t need to arrive with a clearly defined problem - people seek therapy for many different reasons.

You may be facing difficulties in your personal or professional life, navigating a period of pressure or uncertainty, or simply sensing that something doesn’t feel quite right. Counselling can provide you with the time and space to pause, make sense of your experiences and find a way forward.

Whilst I see people facing a broad set of issues, I have a particular interest in supporting clients with the following:

·       Life transitions: adulting, parenthood, quarter- or mid-life crisis, separation, divorce, empty nest

·       Career transitions: change of career or direction, promotion, redundancy, retirement

·       Workplace issues: conflict, bullying or team dynamics

·       Anxiety, stress and burnout

·       Academic pressure and perfectionism

·       Low confidence, loss of motivation or purpose

My integrative training allows me to draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. Sessions are shaped around you - your history, your current circumstances and what you hope to gain from therapy. We might focus on present-day difficulties, longer-standing patterns, or the impact of recent changes.

I aim to work collaboratively with you and seek to support and gently challenge you towards greater understanding of your concerns. Together, we can explore your experiences in a thoughtful and respectful way, deepen your self-awareness and develop ways of coping that help you better function and thrive in your daily life.

I offer both short and longer-term, open-ended counselling, depending on your needs.

If you would like to find out more about working together, I offer a free 20-minute introductory call. This gives us a chance to talk about what brings you to counselling and consider whether my approach feels like a good fit.

My background and experience

Prior to becoming a counsellor, I spent a number years working in publishing and education, giving me insights into diverse work cultures and organisational dynamics.

My recent counselling work has found me supporting staff and students at Anglia Ruskin University with a broad spectrum of mental health challenges. I have also worked with young people at London Young Counselling.

Now in private practice, I work with adults across a range of life stages and professions who are seeking to better understand themselves and their challenges and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. 

I abide by the Ethical Framework of the BACP.
