MEET SARA

Accredited Mental Health Social Worker

& Clinical Consultant/Supervisor

Therapy with horses

My aim is to provide a compassionate service, which offers opportunities to experience new ways of being, with greater capacity to experience connection, regulation and joy.

I value the restorative power of connecting with nature and being in the company of my horses Django and Johnny.

I know myself the healing power of play, rhythm, drumming, movement, mindfulness, storytelling and art. I have the oppertunity to learn Nature-Based Expressive Arts Therapies, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, Equestrian Tai Chi and Therapeutic Drumming.

I have had the privilege of providing creative therapy with children, families and adults, for 40 years and valued the opportunity to teach Social Work and Counselling at UWS.

For about the last 20 years I have also enjoyed providing clinical consultation/supervision to other Social Workers, Counsellors and Therapists. I am proud to be an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and grateful for the privilege to help ‘made a difference’ in the lives of others.

Professional qualifications:

  • BA in Applied Social Studies

  • Cert. of Qualification in Social Work (UK)

  • Masters Degree in Counselling (with Distinction)

  • Cert IV Assessment & Training

I am committed to my own reflective practice, clinical supervision and on-going professional training. I keep up to date with developments in evidence-based practice with trauma, anxiety and neurodiversity and the fields of Nature Based Expressive Arts Therapy, along with current developments in neuroscience.
