About Sorrel Counselling

What it's like working with me
Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and grounded in a genuine relationship. I draw on a mix of approaches, including psychoeducation and practical tools, but at the heart of my work is a person-centred, relational focus. I see you as the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, creating a space where you feel empowered to explore, reflect, and ultimately make choices that feel right for you.
​
My style is direct and straightforward, while always being non-judgemental and compassionate. I value honesty and will gently challenge you when needed, supporting you to see things from new perspectives. I believe in maintaining clear boundaries and structure, while also allowing space for flexibility, authenticity, and even humour. Therapy can be both serious and lighthearted, and I find that being able to laugh together can be just as healing as sitting with difficult emotions.
I find the work most beneficial when a client is motivated to explore themselves, open to change, and willing to step into the sometimes uncomfortable—but rewarding—work of growth.

Client words
"I went for grief counselling with Sorrel following the death of my wife.
She was welcoming, understanding and empathetic. We bonded in the first session which provided a safe space for me to talk about my feelings, emotions, plans and frustrations. Sessions could get quite emotional with tears and laughter in equal measure.
Over the twelve weeks we developed a new way of viewing my grief. By breaking the emotions down we were able to piece back together a new me who is now able to get up in the morning and look forwards to each new day.
I would measure my progress in the number of tissues I went through. Initially a nearly a whole box, but towards the end just one or two: in the final session just one; to blow my nose.
I would thoroughly and whole heartedly recommend Sorrel.”
