Integrative Counselling in North London

and Online

My name is Sarah Lewis and I am a counsellor providing both short and long-term therapy to adults and adolescents in North London and online.

My journey as a therapist began after working for the NHS. Realising that people need to be heard, I decided to retrain as an Integrative Therapist. This means I use different approaches depending on the individual needs - whether it be a person centered approach or psychodynamic. I have experience of using CBT with clients. Changing behaviours and looking at why we do certain things. Some clients like to have goals to work towards.

The relationship between therapist and client is a collaboration based on trust and having a safe space to talk and share feelings in order to look at behaviours from both past and present.


As a counsellor, my role is to provide space and guidance to help you on your journey of self discovery. I am here to listen without judgement, offering the chance to reflect on difficult problems.

During our sessions, I may use a variety of techniques, including

breathing, visualization and anchoring. Some clients even like to express their feeling though art.

"Sarah never judged or pushed me to fill any awkward silences, she simply listened. I did not always want to attend the sessions, but after each session I did feel better."

Age 16

"I had over a year of therapy with Sarah. 

My sessions were really helpful. We worked through some very tricky things and she really helped me see different perspectives and helped me change certain things in my life.  

She has a wonderfully pragmatic style and I related to her and her work immediately and trusted her instinctively.

I would certainly recommend her strongly."

Lisa


“I don't think you are meant to laugh and cry so much in therapy, but Sarah gave me the space to do so in a professional safe environment."

Anonymous

"I would recommend Sarah as a therapist she helped my teenager realise that

life is worth living and there are good people out there who care."
