Counselling & Therapy for Children, Teenagers and Adults
Supporting clients in Northampton, Milton Keynes and surrounding villages with anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing and life’s challenges.
Perhaps you're wondering...
-
Why do I never feel good enough?
-
Why can't I switch my mind off?
-
Why has my child changed so much?
-
Why does my teenager seem so angry?
-
I just want someone to listen without judgement.
You don't have to work it all out alone.
Many of the adults I work with have spent years putting everyone else first. Therapy offers a space where, perhaps for the first time in a long time, your needs matter too.
Hi, I'm Sally.
I'm a therapist working with children, teenagers and adults, and I know that reaching out for support isn't always easy. Whether you're looking for help for yourself, your child or your teenager, my aim is to offer a space where you feel listened to, understood and never judged. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a qualified teacher, giving me a strong understanding of the pressures children, young people and families face.
Trusted by Families and Local Organisations
Alongside running Patchwork Pathways Therapy, I also work as a counsellor with Service Six, one of Northamptonshire’s leading organisations supporting children, young people and families.
Combined with over 20 years' experience supporting children, teenagers and adults, this helps me understand the many different ways emotional struggles can affect everyday life.I hold a Master's degree (MSc) in Counselling Children and Young People and am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). My approach is warm, relational and tailored to each individual, because I believe therapy should never feel like a one-size-fits-all process.Whether we're exploring anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationships, self-esteem or simply trying to make sense of life's challenges, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Children
Behaviour, anxiety, confidence, friendships, emotional regulation, school worries.
.
Teenagers
Exam stress, self-harm, anxiety, identity, relationships, low mood.
Adults
Anxiety, childhood trauma, people pleasing, burnout, depression, boundaries, chronic illness.
Every person is different, so therapy shouldn't follow a script. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we explore patterns from the past. Sometimes we use creative approaches or practical strategies. Together we'll find an approach that feels right for you.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don't have to commit to therapy straight away.
I offer a free 20-minute phone or Zoom conversation where you can ask questions, tell me what's been happening and decide whether I'm the right therapist for you.
You don't need to be in crisis to come to therapy.You might simply be tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck.You might want healthier relationships, stronger boundaries or a better understanding of why you think and feel the way you do.Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
