About me
I'm Sarah (they/them) and I offer counselling, mediation and sexological bodywork to people online and in person in Neukölln. I have been seeing clients in private practice since 2021 and before that I practiced for over ten years as a human rights lawyer in London. I was drawn to human rights work because I knew I wanted to centre social justice in my life and to think critically about power. These values continue to be important in my work as I help people to explore how power and social systems shape their relationships and bodies.

Approach
I support people in finding their way through relational difficulties in the hope that their lives become more joyful. People tend to describe me as warm and approachable and I use these qualities when exploring how clients might mobilise their strengths and resources to reduce the impact of problems in their lives. I am often moved by people’s courage and creativity in this process and my aim is that our conversations bring hope by making new possibilities visible.
I specialise in working with sex and conflict, drawing on my experience as a sexological bodyworker and a mediator. Having trained in systemic practice, I am attuned to the ways in which problems between people can be transformed, whether this be within families, couples or non-monogamous constellations.
Much of my work is with people from marginalised groups, including clients who are sex workers, BIPOC, queer and/or trans, as well as those with a migration background. I am attentive to the ways in which oppression in social and political contexts contributes to the problems people face in their interpersonal relationships. I have worked extensively with couples from different cultural backgrounds, navigating the richness and complexity that this brings to relationships. I also have experience of working with couples where one or both people have a psychiatric diagnosis.
Experience
I have been working with clients in private practice since 2021 and also work with Pineapple Support, a charity providing mental health support to sex workers.
