Sarah Ellmore Counselling is a private, confidential service offering you the time, empathy and respect you need to express your thoughts and feelings. As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I have been trained to listen to you in a way that you possibly have never been listened to before.  It is my job to create a safe place where I will not judge you - I will work to understand your feelings and, through that, help you to understand them better too.  You will not be given advice or opinions, instead you will be given the opportunity to examine your issue from a different perspective - we will work together to help you move forward.

Counselling can and does provide answers, but those answers largely come from you - as a counsellor I might be seen as an 'expert' therapist, but only you are the expert on you!  Counselling provides an ideal environment for you to explore and discover your inner expert and the strength to make changes for the better.

Speaking regularly with someone whose only purpose is to support, value and understand you in a place where you can talk about anything that concerns you and be completely yourself with all of your feelings; a place in which you don't have to pretend with everything you say and do, can be an extraordinarily transformative experience.  Through counselling many learn for the first time to value themselves and draw on their own strength - often discovering resources they didn't know they had!

At the root of it, counselling is about expressing yourself without the limits every day life can sometimes place on us - so often in life we can feel no one truly understands us and how we are feeling - a counsellor's primary goal is to try and see through your eyes, and get an understanding of what it is like to walk in your shoes.

Remember, it's never too late to change - it is possible for you to learn to be more at peace with yourself and others in your life, and I would feel privileged to support you on your journey.
