About Me
Hi, I’m Sarah, founder of In The Moment Counselling offering private counselling to adults in Gosforth, Newcastle Upon Tyne and online across the UK.
With over 28 years of experience in healthcare, I bring a strong understanding of both physical and emotional health, and a genuine commitment to supporting you through anxiety, stress, loss, grief and life transitions.
My background in healthcare
My counselling career began following 17 years as an NHS Registered Nurse, where I saw firsthand how stress, illness, and life events deeply affect emotional wellbeing, relationships, and confidence.
The experience of a busy, high-pressured environment taught me that overwhelm, anxiety and a need to keep going often means our own needs go unnoticed.
This experience shaped the calm, grounded and compassionate approach I bring to therapy sessions today.
My personal experience of grief and loss
My decision to retrain as a Counsellor was born from my own journey through counselling after losing a family member unexpectedly.
I understand how shock and loss can change everything in an instant; the exhaustion, intense emotions, and anxiety that can surface while you are still trying to function day to day. Grief can feel isolating and unsettling, even when you are surrounded by people who care.
Having experienced the benefits of counselling myself, I know the value of having a safe, confidential space to talk openly, reflect, and begin to heal. With the right support, it is possible to process loss, rebuild your sense of self, and move forward in a way that feels meaningful and manageable.
My approach to counselling
To you, I offer compassion, understanding and an empathetic approach on your therapy journey.
Whether you are seeking support for grief, anxiety and stress, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck, I will walk alongside you at a pace that feels manageable for you.
My aim is to help you reconnect with your authentic self and live in a way that aligns with your values, without judgement from others or yourself.
If you are looking for counselling in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, or would like to explore online therapy, I am here when you are ready.
