Complex PTSD (CPTSD) Therapy

Hi, I’m Sarah a Manchester psychotherapist working online with clients across the UK and Europe.
I specialise in CPTSD and working with adult survivors of childhood trauma.

Who I work with

I work with adults (18+) who have or supect complex PTSD from childhood trauma, including:

  • Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse

  • Emotional neglect or CEN (childhood Emotional Neglect)

  • Growing up with a narcissistic, abusive, or controlling parent

  • Feeling unsafe, unloved or alone

I do not work with:

  • Trauma from military service, war zones, or accidents unrelated to childhood trauma

  • Domestic abuse unrelated to childhood trauma

What if I’ve already tried therapy?

You’ve tried figuring it out yourself. You’ve meditated, and yes, you’ve tried therapy.

  • I work with many clients who are on their 3rd or 4th therapist (or more).

  • I won’t explain things you already know. My clients love to research and they already know a lot about trauma.

  • You don’t need more info, you need to learn to connect with your emotions because that will help you understand yourself and others better.

  • I won’t leave you with some vague idea that you ‘already have the answers inside of you’.

  • I’ll help you understand your emotions (and manage them)

  • We’ll look at what you need to change and how.

Individual therapy sessions

  • 1:1 sessions, usually weekly, 50 minutes each (can be twice per month if appropriate).

  • Online via Zoom, get the best fit for you not the closest therapist.

  • I’ve been told many times by clients that I ‘speak like a real person’ and I won’t leave you to figure it all out for yourself.

  • Trauma informed therapy.

How to know if we’re a good fit

You’re probably ready to work with me if:

  • You’re willing to take responsibility for change, but want guidance on how to do it.

  • You want more than empathy and listening, you want challenge to see what’s not working.

  • You’re willing to take responsibility for thinking and working on issues between sessions too.

  • You’re open to trying new ways of handling things (even if they feel awkward at first).

  • You’d rather work with someone who’s lived through trauma, not just read about it in a textbook.
