My name is Sara and I am the person behind Cridhe Counselling. The word Cridhe is a Scottish Gaelic word which means “Heart, Core and Courage” and I believe that these words are not just key for you as a client but for me as a counsellor too. I work with clients to help them get to the heart of what is on their mind. It is a privilege to sit alongside my clients as they courageously share their story and work towards their chosen goals.

I have a strong focus on working with women of all ages and stages of life who have reached a point where they need a confidential space to talk, process and find their way forward into the next season of their life. I work with people who lie awake at night worrying, who feel overwhelmed by work, relationships with others, everyday tasks, or who feel they have lost touch with who they are and can’t move on from the past.

I have worked with young people, parents and families for 28 years both as a teacher and also as a foster carer.

My qualifications & experience

I have a bachelor’s degree in education (1998) and started my journey to becoming a counsellor in 2017 before completing a postgraduate diploma in Integrative counselling in 2025. I am also trained in teaching Mindfulness to children and adults.

  • I work with people aged 16 upwards.

    I am registered as counsellor with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

    I have worked as a volunteer counsellor in schools since 2017 and with adults since 2024.

    I draw on my experience working in education for 28 years, where I have worked with young people and their families in pastoral roles since 2017.

    I have also worked as a foster carer for several years.

There is no one “right way” for us to do this and it’s always my goal for us to find a way that works for you and that makes you feel empowered and ready to move forward.

I am someone who listens with care, has a gentle approach, loves to get to know people and has a ready smile.
