Sarah Comerford Counselling in Berkshire

Counselling and Therapy in Wokingham

People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may have a specific issue you're looking to change or gain help with. Perhaps you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with depression, anxiety, or uncertainty. You may have experienced trauma and feel ready to explore this, or you may be seeking a deeper understanding of yourself.

Counselling can, I believe be an incredibly valuable tool to help you, regardless of the issue or length of time you would like to commit to therapy.

Counselling provides a space to address all of these concerns. It’s a time for you to step away from distractions, pressures, and external demands, allowing you to explore who you are.

As an experienced Integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to best suit your individual needs. I draw upon Psychodynamic, Person-Centered, and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), allowing me to tailor our work together to address your unique situation.

I believe that relationships are central to being human, which is why the core emphasis of my therapeutic approach is relational. This means my focus is to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore the significant relationships in your life—whether that's with family, friends, colleagues, or partners—as well as the most important relationship, the one you have with yourself.

I am experienced in supporting people with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, low mood, anger management, loneliness, trauma, relationship challenges, family issues, low self-esteem, stress, panic attacks, bereavement, and experiences of abuse. I am also an LGBTQIA+ ally and affirmative counsellor, with experience helping individuals explore their gender, relationships, and identity.

As a counselling supervisor, I support both trainee, qualified and experienced counsellors and therapists. I’ve worked with several counselling organisations, including Arc Counselling and No 5 Young People's Counselling Service, and currently supervise counsellors at No 5. I am also an accredited counsellor with The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I offer flexible therapy options. I can work with you on an open-ended basis, without a set number of sessions, or provide short-term, time-limited therapy for specific concerns. If you’re unsure about how you’d like to approach therapy, we can review this together throughout our sessions.

I offer counselling and supervision services to clients in Wokingham, Bracknell, Finchampstead, Reading, Woodley, and Earley. I also work with clients online across the UK. To arrange an initial session, click here to email me.
