Sarah van den Brink

I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist and have been helping people with emotional and mental health care needs for more than 15 years.

In essence, therapy provides a place where your difficulties can be explored and understood with me. I treat people holistically. I believe that your history, significant relationships and present situation are connected in ways which might not be apparent. By giving all the different aspects of your life careful and thoughtful attention, we will uncover essential information about yourself.

I firmly believe that we grow in connection with others. Whether you are facing an immediate crisis (eg divorce, work stress) or an enduring problem such as anxiety or depression, we can tackle it together. Through our work, you will gain a richer sense of who you are, feel better equipped to navigate life’s challenges and experience greater fulfilment in your relationships.
