Individual support for adults with long term physical health conditions
Sarah welcomes referrals for psychological assessment for adults (aged 18 and over) who want to understand what is triggering and maintaining their psychological well-being difficulties. Sarah has expertise and understanding of the psychological impact of living with gastroenterological diagnoses, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory conditions, cancer, and weight management issues (including pre and post bariatric surgery).
Sarah guarantees she will listen carefully and gently guide the assessment, with her aim being to develop shared understanding (formulation) about the presenting problems. From there, she will advise around evidence based psychological intervention that could potentially help the person take steps towards living life to fuller potential and offer intervention as appropriate. Sarah typically offers Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and Mindfulness Based interventions.
