Sar’s holistic counselling approach is a natural extension from her bodywork and flows with the intention of welcoming all that is arising. In a session with Sar, you will do this together by exploring soma (body), psyche (soul/mind) and cultivating an expanding landscape of self-awareness that supports our inner and outer life to thrive.

Holistic Counselling and Process-oriented Psychotherapy works with issues relevant to our lives and overall well being. It attends with curiosity and fascination to the lived experience of being a soulful, unique human and seeks to bring greater awareness to aspects of ourselves that may sometimes fly under the radar, become marginalised or appear to be generally less known.

Psychotherapy can help in overcoming emotional and psychological challenges, improve mental well-being, and promote personal growth. Sar works with you to develop a confidential relationship and provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and experiences. Through this exploration, Sar will guide you to gain insight into your challenges, develop coping strategies, and make positive changes in your life.

This can provide support in relation to:

  • Navigating fears & anxiety through uncertainty
  • Grief and loss
  • Learning grounding & centering techniques, learning embodiment & awareness practices to support your nervous system
  • Femininity, sexuality and body image issues
  • Family and ancestral work
  • Life transitions
  • Women's Health related challenges
  • Expressing anger and other challenging emotions in a healthy way
  • And more...

Somatic Psychotherapy

Given Sar’s love for working with the body, her Psychotherapy sessions are focused on Somatics. The term "somatic" refers to the lived experience of the body, including physical sensations, emotions, and the ways in which our bodies hold and express psychological states.

Somatic Psychotherapy integrates the mind and body to address emotional and psychological issues. It recognizes the interconnection between the body, emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, and uses bodily sensations, movements, and awareness as a primary focus of the therapeutic process.

In somatic psychotherapy, therapists work with clients to explore and understand the sensations, movements, and patterns of tension or relaxation in the body. This may involve gentle movements, breathing exercises, or mindfulness practices to increase body awareness. By paying attention to bodily sensations, clients can gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, thoughts, and underlying psychological patterns.

These sessions aim to help individuals access and process these bodily experiences to gain insight, release tension or trauma, and promote overall well-being.

Two hour integration sessions

Sar also offers a unique healing experience that combines an hour of Somatic or Process-Oriented Holistic Psychotherapy with an additional hour of bodywork integration after. This gives you the opportunity to receive support through a Psychotherapy session and then receive the experience into your body through massage, as well as integrate the gifts of the therapy before you continue on with the rest of your day. It allows you the space to continue processing the session organically through the body in a way that is relaxing as well as therapeutic.

‘I saw Sar weekly from my second trimester and I don’t think I could have survived my pregnancy without her! Sar has a wonderful energy and her passion and commitment shines through her practice. I would highly recommend her to all pregnant mamas in need of body and soul rejuvenation during pregnancy’

Beatrice

'Sar is intuitive and highly skilled in knowing what you need. The postnatal massage was incredible. I felt deep relaxation, but also so much more. Her bodywork took me back to the labour and helped me release things I wasn't even aware I was holding onto. Sar is deeply respectful and passionate about women's health, so I always feel incredible safe and able to fully let go in her presence. Her bodywork is essential for any pregnant woman and an absolute must after birth. I can't recommend Sar highly enough to any woman who needs some relaxation, downtime or to de-stress.'

Louise

'Sar is an incredible space holder. She provides a warm, nurturing and loving space – welcoming you home to your body and the inherent wisdom stored within. Expertly inviting you to a deeper self-awareness through her treatments. Sar has helped me reconnect with my fertility, recover from pregnancy loss and supported my physical and emotional body to be healthy and well. Thank you!'

Lisa

‘After trying many other practitioners, I have been a client of Sar's for two years and every treatment has been highly beneficial and really pleasurable. I suffer from serious disc problems, so I don't just want a relaxing massage. She has an excellent knowledge of the human body and is very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a special massage therapist.’

Michele

'Sar helped me reconnect with my body and helped me discover what self care is really about. She was treating me for fertility issues, digestive issues, stress and anxiety. Sar helped me reconnect with my body, accept it with its imperfections and love my body and myself. After a little more than 6 months of treatment, I got my first period in 6 years. Then, a few months later I got another one, and before I knew it I fell pregnant with a second baby. A miracle baby who is about to come out, despite having been told by many doctors that I would never be able to have a baby without IVF. I am so grateful for having crossed paths with Sar.'
