Therapist

Sarah (she/her) is a neurodiverse (autistic/ADHD) poet who also holds qualifications as a counsellor and teacher. She particularly enjoys working with and for other neurodiverse people, especially adolescents.

Previously, Sarah has worked as a secondary school wellbeing coordinator and as a learning support officer in a trauma-informed educational setting. Her observations in these roles, as well as her lived experience of being neurodiverse and living with an invisible disability (POTS/CFS), motivates her to look for ways to improve systems and build community, while also building the capacity of individuals to cope within those structures, based on their own strengths, challenges and interests.

Sarah has three dogs and four guinea pigs. She is passionate about cooking, karaoke, horror movies and stand up comedy, but also enjoys sketching, gaming and philosophy. Nature is her happy place.
