Sarah Grindrod

I am qualified, experienced counsellor based in South Manchester (Sale) whose core therapeutic approach is person-centred, integrative and Solutions focused however, my training and ongoing life learning helps me integrate other approaches where it feels helpful. I have my own private practice offering counselling to clients both face to face and online. Alongside, I work as an affliate counsellor with Health Assured and One Bright conducting sessions in person and virtually. 

My non-clincial, holistic approach will allow us to explore thoughts, feelings and emotions using reflection, observation and gentle challenging techniques.  My sessions offer a genuine, warm, non clinical safe place for you to talk to someone in confidence who listens without judgement, which may help you make sense of things and understand yourself better.  Storing up difficult feelings and worries for a long time, bravely battling on alone can take its toll. Making the decision to seek counselling support can be daunting therefore I offer an initial, no obligation consultation allowing you to decide whether you wish to proceed.

I help my clients to;  Manage anxiety, low mood and depression. Work through and process bereavement and loss. Improve self-esteem and a sense of self-worth. Explore transitional stages of life, including motherhood, middle age,  relationship issues the menopause,  retirement and career related issues. 

My focus will be to encourage you to find the answers that lie within you. This may involve reflection and gentle challenging which can help you to view your feelings, behaviours and patterns of thinking more clearly which in turn may encourage positive change.

I have a beautiful therapy room based in central Sale (South Manchester) where I can offer face to face therapy in a confidential, warm, welcoming space which may help take you away from your daily environment which can help unlock pent up emotions, worries and fears. Regular face to face sessions can encourage you to let go of fears, anxieties and stress allowing space for positive changes to take place.

Sessions can be weekly, monthly or on an adhoc basis dependent on the needs of my clients.
