New Testimonial – Compounded Grief
8 April 2025 by
NEW! “Having suffered 4 close family traumatic deaths in the space of just over 3 years, I was recommended Sarah as an alternative to the normal bereavement counselling route. I found traditional counselling only took me so far, but I wanted to take the next step in the grieving process and to try and get back to some version of myself.
Sarah used Havening on the traumas and I learned new tools and techniques, have not only given me hope, but I actually feel better and more in control of both my life and emotions. Having addressed the negative feelings associated with grief and replaced them with more positive, it has made the sadness less raw and emotional. It is also an excellent means of breaking the vicious circle of how my brain looks at things.
I went with an open mind and have been pleasantly surprised by how much of a difference it has made in just 7 sessions. I would definitely recommend for anyone going through a similar emotional turmoil. SR

“I got back from my trip a couple weeks ago and everything went very well. I felt in the airport before I left a bit nervous but with the breathing I managed to get control of myself so I’d say you helped me massively as I did not experience any panic attacks or nausea. Thanks again for your help and assistance and for being open to discuss my problems with me.” LP Bedfordshire

“When I came to Sarah, I was suffering from quite debilitating panic attacks which were hindering me in my social and personal life. I had been to 5 other ‘specialists’ and had honestly given up hope of ever being able to reduce them/get rid of them. When I first went to her, I had suffered 3 panic attacks in one week, and was struggling to believe there was light at the end of the tunnel. I last saw her in September 2023, and have not had a panic attack since early July. I genuinely didn’t believe a ‘cure’ was there, but Sarah helped me through, was understanding, listened to me, and helped me more than I ever believed possible. Many, many thanks – I will definitely be going back if I ever have any more issues. Couldn’t recommend her more highly, lovely person, and genuinely wants to make a difference in people’s lives.
Thank you so much Sarah!” VP, Dunstable

NEW! “I was suffering the worst trauma after losing my daughter to suicide. I was crippled with anxiety, PTSD and felt I had nothing to live for. Sarah treated the trauma/PTSD and has taught me tools that I will use for the rest of my life and that I DO still have a life worth living.” JT – Harpenden
NEW! “Sarah was recommended to me after our family experienced a medical emergency. I felt very distressed and traumatised and didn’t just want talk therapy to work it out. Sarah took me through a process of detaching the emotions from the experience over a few sessions; which worked brilliantly. More importantly, she taught me how to do this for myself, as well as a number of other very useful relaxation techniques for difficult times. Coupled with logical and rational discussion about what had happened and how, the counselling, Havening and hypnotherapy sessions were a potent antidote to the trauma experienced. I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough, she is effective, kind and perceptive to your needs.” LDG – Ashburton

New! “Sarah has changed my life forever. I went to Sarah after generic counselling and CBT wasn’t working for me. I suffer with extreme health anxiety and OCD and when I met Sarah, I was struggling and finding it harder and harder to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Through Havening techniques and hypnotherapy, I am now able to live again and not just live but feel alive. I am now in control, not my anxiety or intrusive thoughts. I wish I had met Sarah sooner and I know she’s only a call away if ever I need to check in again.” BW – Thame

New! “I started my sessions with Sarah after feeling depressed, anxious and out of control from the past 2 years of the pandemic. Through Sarah’s help, she educated me on the way the brain functions when in panic and she taught me very useful techniques such as Havening. She also helped me address my perfectionism and past traumatic experiences which has previously contributed to my anorexia.
I was initially quite scared about getting help but Sarah has a really positive, enthusiastic approach, making you feel very welcomed and relaxed in the sessions and that progress is always possible! I quickly began to really look forward to going to the sessions, seeing it as a necessary investment in my own health and an hour of self care and growth – I would highly recommend Sarah’s services to anyone who is needing some extra help and support.” CS Princes Risborough

“I was introduced to Sarah when my marriage was going through a very bad patch. I was very nervous about what to expect, how to behave and what to say. Sarah immediately made me feel comfortable, welcome, and not alone. She guided me with professionalism and care, she was candid and very clear about what was going on, and she made me think hard about where I was.
The tools she used enabled me to support myself when not in the counselling sessions. She was very honest and made me see things more clearly – things that I had not done right, and she helped me address those areas.
Not only did Sarah help me understand what was going on in my relationship, but she also helped me understand ‘Me’, and what was really going on in my life, what I needed, what I wanted, and what I was not getting within my relationship. Most importantly she was not judgemental.
I have grown so much since our first session, I do understand my needs more clearly now, and whatever happens in the future, I feel that I am going to be a better and happier person. And I have also learned to love myself a little (lot) more.
Thank you for all you have done and how you have helped me ‘see’.”
