One of the first things we do when I’m approached by a potential client is to arrange a time to have a chat on the phone, sometimes zoom.

It’s so important because we don’t know until we’ve chatted whether we are a good fit.

If we both decide that we are then we arrange an appointment, I send you some paperwork and then… off we go.

If you’re thinking of therapy for something you can email me on sarah@sarahariss.com

What are the questions you should ask a therapist if you’re looking to work with someone? You can ask anything you would like but here are some helpful suggestions from a therapist with over 10 years experience.

1. What would your plan be to help me?

2. Have you worked with many people before who have had this issue?

3 How successful were you?

4. What do you charge?

5. How often are the sessions?

6. How long are the sessions?

7. How many sessions might I need?

8. Are you a member of a professional association? (This will show a level of competency)

9. Are you DBS checked?

10. Do you offer in person or online sessions?

How do you imagine therapy? Maybe you are experiencing Anxiety and need help but don’t know where to turn?

The therapy I practice is practical, kind and tailored for each individual client. You are not your label, you are you.

It’s about being seen, heard, listened to and also learning life skills to help you manage life’s ups and downs.

If you’re interested why not get in touch and book a free call so we can find out whether we would be a good fit to work together.

Life can feel very difficult at times - overwhelming and lonely. Often it’s hard to talk to the people around us because perhaps we feel embarrassed, ashamed or maybe we just don’t want to worry them.

I’ve been working as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist for ten years now, helping hundreds of people with issues as varied as Anxiety, Depression, fears, self confidence, self esteem and more. It’s something I feel very privileged to be able to do.

It’s a talking therapy, tailored for each unique individual. It’s practical, kind and gives you the life skills to cope with whatever life throws at you. Completely confidential, I can give you a safe space to talk, work through things and reach a place in your life where you can be who you want to be.

This can be in person, online or a mix of the two - whichever works best for you.

I’m here when you feel ready.

Anxiety is the symptom. Your nervous system is trying to send you a message so that you begin to change your environment, your understanding of what has happened to you or is happening to you.

When we work on that in therapy… the Anxiety goes.

I specialise in helping people with Anxiety but I also help people with confidence, self esteem, feeling stuck, feeling unhappy and afraid.

I’ve been doing this now for ten years and I love it. If you think you need some help at the moment from someone who’s kind, caring and professional then maybe I can be that person.

I’m trying to move away from being on my phone so much. I had planned on videoing my morning but I changed my mind. Being with my friends and fellow therapists this morning was just lovely. We chatted about life and the universe with not a phone in sight. It would have felt wrong to be filming.

So I didn’t.

I walked with a very lovely friend this afternoon and we talked about just this. So often we see life through a screen or how our lives might look on a screen when what is going to feel so much better is living it for real, in the moment.

Asking for help can feel daunting. It’s the hardest step. Particularly if you’ve experienced unhelpful people in the past.

But it’s the first step towards feeling like you again. When you are ready - I’m here. And if I’m not the right fit for your needs then there will be someone who is.

You don’t have to do this by yourself. Ask for help. Open the doorway to hope.
