Working with Sarah has truly changed my life. Her warm, empathic nature instantly put me at ease, and helped me to feel safe enough to start to work through some extensive childhood trauma. Her skills and professionalism have helped me more than I can describe. I genuinely feel in touch with myself again. She has enabled my body and nervous system to calm down for the first time. I will be forever indebted to her.
I sought EMDR to help me manage a troubling life experience which was impacting on my life in ways I was struggling to manage, and I’d heard that this form of therapy could help. Sarah was welcoming and informative in the initial session, and supported me through some psycho-education to understand my feelings and responses. She felt like a safe pair of hands. After a few sessions of EMDR, in which we systematically worked through my memories of troubling events, I noticed that I was significantly less impacted by intrusive thoughts and memories, and more emotionally regulated. I would recommend Sarah as an EMDR practitioner to anyone seeking help to manage traumatic experiences.
I initially went to see Sarah as I was getting so triggered by my 11 year old daughter’s behaviour. Through having EMDR I have been able to soften the emotional impact the triggers were having on me which in turn stops me from reacting so much. What I like about EMDR is how effective it is in a relatively short space of time in comparison to other talking therapies and how it helped me to connect more with my body and to understand the reasons for my original reactions (all stemming from my own childhood trauma). Sarah is a lovely warm and accepting therapist who I will go back to again if needed and would thoroughly recommend. NC.
EMDR with Sarah took me straight out of survival mode and allowed me to enjoy life again. Her knowledge and care was comforting throughout. Working through things with Sarah was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Jo
I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for support. Her kindness, knowledge and expertise really helped me professionally, but also in my wider life and relationships. EMDR really helped to unlock belief systems which had been logically unraveled, but had not settled fully into the body – it was a really useful tool to explore subconscious weight which was carried from past experiences.

Working with Sarah was a game-changer for my driving anxiety. Through EMDR she helped me process the underlying trauma that likely contributed to my anxiety (including recent passing of my father). After a few sessions, my anxiety decreased significantly and I now feel confident and enjoy driving again. I am incredibly grateful for her help. Becca
I contacted Sarah to help me with what had become a debilitating, panic-inducing fear of flying. It has now been almost six months since I had my last session, and EMDR has been an incredible help to me. The whole process was intense but gentle at the same time. Sarah patiently uncovered where my fears came from and it was amazing to experience how they gradually dissipated over the course of 8 sessions. When I went on a flight this summer for the first time since the therapy, as if by magic I had none of the usual heart palpitations, sweaty palms, near panic attacks or nightmare scenarios playing in my mind. I sat in my seat and tried to recall how it felt to be afraid of flying, but I couldn’t remember or recreate the feeling at all. EMDR is so subtle but has really quite remarkable effects.
At the start of the therapy Sarah explained how it worked and I felt immediately at ease with her. We worked together and Sarah guided me through each step with great care and warmth.
My sessions are now complete and I feel so happy, relaxed, positive and, above all, free of all the terrible feelings and memories which had been consuming me and holding me back.
Sarah has been amazing and I’m so thankful to have been encouraged to contact her, I thoroughly recommend her .
I was in a head on car crash and to help with the trauma I spoke to Sarah Brown to see if EMDR could help. I can honestly say it was exhausting, but a revelation, within 6 sessions I was talking about the whole incident calmly and without getting upset. I ended up having 12 sessions in total. Sarah Brown for me was absolutely tremendous, her attitude, understanding and ultimately her professionalism would make me not hesitate to recommend her.
Thank You Thank You Thank You.
I came to Sarah as I felt overwhelming anxiety and physical symptoms of panic.
The EMDR therapy helped me understand that the feelings stemmed from past childhood trauma.
I felt very safe with Sarah, who is an experienced and knowledgable therapist.
I trusted her and so was able to be open. The lovely treatment room was soothing and cosy and quiet.
I learnt techniques which I can use daily to self soothe. The EMDR treatment felt like it was sweeping away pain and difficulties so that I could move forward with my life.
I feel stronger and much more able to function without the debilitating feelings of anxiety. I have had talking therapy in the past which also was significant. However I feel that I no longer need to unpick the past and understand it.
