Sarah Bracken

I am a BACP and UKCP Accredited Psychotherapist. I use a range of modalities to tailor my work to best help you explore your experiences and struggles in life. I place huge importance on the quality of our client/therapist relationship as that has been found to be most effective in bringing about positive therapeutic outcomes so my approach is one of warmth and collaboration within a trusting space which will allow us to explore those aspects of your life which you are struggling with. Therapy will focus on building your strengths and exploring your resources which will help you to meet life's challenges with resilience and confidence, empowering you to navigate obstacles with clarity and strength. I offer Reflective Parenting sessions for one/both parents which supports the connection, or development of a healthy connection between parent and child. The purpose of these sessions is to reflect on your child’s behaviour, gain an understanding of the internal reasons for the behaviour and reflect together on ways you can respond helpfully to your child. Reflective parenting offers a space for a parent or parents to think about your child without being judged and enables you to be helpfully responsive, rather than reactive to your children’s struggles.
