I have been working as a Licensed Psychologist, Therapist and Coach in the UK and EU for over 15 years, using an evidence-based, pragmatic approach. If you feel that change is proving challenging, I will help you to regain control and balance of your life, relationships and career. I offer in-person therapy in English in Barcelona and online therapy for clients worldwide.
I am an expat (half German, half Iranian, born and raised in the UK), a British Chartered Occupational Psychologist, registered with the `Health & Care Professions Council´ and a Fellow of the `British Psychological Society´. I am also a mother of 4 kids, and understand the expat experience keenly, given my multicultural background and through living in Barcelona for close to 8 years.
My work with expats has recently been acknowledged by two awards at the GHP Mental Health Awards 2025: Best Transformational Expat Wellbeing Specialist 2025 (Spain) and the Excellence Award for Evidence-Based Psychological Techniques 2025.
Here are what my clients say about me:
"I carried trauma for years, thinking I’d moved on, but it still affected me. In just a few sessions, Sara helped me process it safely and gave me daily tools. I can’t say enough about how much this has changed my outlook on life"
"The sessions were practical and goal-oriented, yet helped me process emotions. You don’t have to ‘believe’ in it—if you do the work, you’ll see results."
"After my divorce, I felt lost and overwhelmed by panic attacks. Sara gave me tools to manage anxiety and a plan to move forward. I still have tough days, but now I can handle them."
"I was skeptical about online therapy, but it became an anchor in my life. Sara’s blend of psychology and coaching is powerful—I’m making changes that stick."
