Welcome to Sarah Nicoll Therapy Services. I believe therapy and counselling can facilitate a better understanding of yourself so you can make change and thrive in your everyday life. I know that the therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is what creates a pathway for healing and progress. During our work together, we can focus on what is important to you and usually start with creating goals for what you would like to achieve or address. I am skilled in providing therapy on a short to medium term basis.
Sarah's Approach
Using a combination of evidence based talking and somatic trauma therapies, I tailor my approach to support you to develop tools and strategies to navigate your mental health and/or life challenges you may be facing. We can address taking steps towards progress and meaningful change in whatever stage you are at in your life. This may include gaining insight into thinking patterns, beliefs, narratives, behaviour and body sensations that may be contributing, exacerbating or even protecting factors. I provide a style of therapy that is collaborative, reflective, empowering and practical.
My approach is unique in that I have come from two different backgrounds, one as a health professional with an understanding of both physical and mental health/illness/disability and working in systems and rehabilitation services. The other is working as a talking based therapist and counsellor. I have a special interest in anxiety, trauma and youth/adult ADHD. I also have an understanding of psychiatric medications. I combine all of these to provide a bespoke therapy service particularly if you have physical health, mental health or neurodiversity concerns.
