Sarah is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and has a very caring and professional manner. It makes the world of difference to think that someone is really listening to you when attempting to talk about very difficult topics. She is thoughtful and considerate with each piece of advice she provides and makes you feel completely at ease. Warm and welcoming with a great sense of humour, thank you Sarah for helping me.

I really connected with Sarah. She made me feel normal and relaxed. She is very empathetic which helped me to feel comfortable being vulnerable.

I can't believe how powerful the EMDR was. There has been a real shift in how I now respond to thoughts about the difficult time I experienced. It's empowering to understand how it impacted on me as I now understand how I can alter my current ways of thinking and my behaviour. – June 2018.
Client Feedback
I feel much more able to trust myself that I know how to deal with the bad days but more importantly Sarah has given me the confidence to think in a completely different way and to use that to take action to make some significant changes to my life for the better. – July 2019.
Client Feedback
My whole mindset has changed - my depression hasn't gone completely but the anxiety and feelings of fear have been severely reduced from the EDMR therapy – May 2019.

I feel like a different person. When I started with Sarah I felt trapped in my own mind; I didn’t know one positive thing about myself. Overtime working with Sarah I realised I have several things I am passionate about. My self-esteem developed greatly. I continue to have so much interest in mental health and I have started a whole new journey. I can’t thank Sarah enough. Shes helped me through my darkest times. – Feb 2020

Sarah is a wonderful and compassionate therapist. I completely trust her and felt comfortable the first moment I met her. She’s experienced and really encourages you to figure out what’s holding you back and to make the necessary changes to live your best life. She goes above and beyond and really cares. Highly recommend. - March 2019
Client Feedback
Without any reservations, I highly recommend Sarah Rees. She is welcoming, empathetic and clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. I went to her, with trepidation, after years of just not ‘enjoying life’ and feeling really flat. From the first session, I felt reassured that we would ‘sort me out’ and that is just what we did. If you have never had therapy it is easy to assume that you need to lead the agenda which can be scary, especially if you don’t know what that agenda should be. Sarah gently led me through a process that was comfortable, supportive and really...

Sarah helped me to get a clearer perspective on why my mind is malfunctioning and provided me with information and useful links to support me on my journey to improved mental health.
Client Feedback
That Sarah worked at my pace and never pushed me to do anything I couldn't do. She believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself and that gave me the motivation to carry on. I never felt judged.

If there's one word I had to choose to summarise how I feel, it would be 'empowered'. You have equipped me with knowledge and taught me how I can use that knowledge to continue my journey of improving my well-being, my relationships and therefore my quality of life. When I met you I was stuck, but you lifted me up and I now feel I can manage the rest from here! But, if I get stuck again, it's great to know I can get in touch.
Client Feedback
I would recommend anyone needing CBT therapy gets to attend therapy with Sarah D.Rees she was a truly lovely person who has helped me get a part of my life back. Thankyou.
Client Feedback
I just needed to write and say a huge and sincere ‘thankyou’ for the EMDR work you did with me on my intrusive and traumatic memory. I know that you asked me to wait and confirm that the change was lasting, but I already knew within myself that it was before I left our last session. I found the treatment an intense but liberating experience. Aware that I was going to revisit that memory I had a degree of trepidation at the start. However, not only did you very quickly have me feeling naturally more relaxed, but you had me...
Client Feedback
EMDR was completely new to me when Sarah suggested it. It was easy to put my trust in Sarah as she was so understanding and empathic. The results were astonishing and so quick! I feel like I have the old "me" back and my life back at last. I can' thank Sarah enough.

Being able to talk freely and discuss anything in a relaxed environment with a friendly counsellor.
Client Feedback
Sarah helped me look at issues from different perspectives which really helped.
Client Feedback
I found my therapy experience excellent. I feel so much better about all my worries and I have materials with me so that if I relapse they are readily available for me to look at with plenty of information.
Client Feedback
Sarah really understood me and listened to everything I had to say. She helped me to realise things from a different perspective and break out of my negative cycle.
Client Feedback
My Therapy experience has changed a lot for me and I feel more confident and happier. I also feel like I have a coping strategy for if I ever do have a bad day over things relating to my incident. I cannot thank Sarah enough for making me feel so at ease with her support and help during that difficult time in my life. Thank you.
Client Feedback
It was a big change to start with - coming to terms with having anxiety and CBT had been recommended but I wasn’t sure how it worked. Once I accepted my situation the advice Sarah gave was excellent and after I tried the exposure therapy I gained in confidence that this works and that I would get better. I have also found the mindfulness meditation very good and something I will carry on in my life. Panic and anxiety are hard things to overcome but doing the therapy has been a very big help and a big thank you to...

I thought Sarah was very approachable and helped me understand the patterns of thinking and worrying I was continuously going over.
Client Feedback
It gave me the ability to help myself. The overall experience was calming.
Client Feedback
Sarah made me feel very welcome and supported me throughout the whole process.
Client Feedback
I’ve never used therapy before and to be honest have always been a bit skeptical. However Sarah has completely disproved my perceptions - from my experience I can see and feel the benefits and would recommend Sarah without hesitation.
Client Feedback
Sarah was absolutely excellent - she is a fantastic listener and very empathetic. Sarah is also very knowledgeable and applied to her skills to my particular situation brilliantly. I really looked forward to my time with Sarah - she was so helpful and I came away from each session feeling I had made significant progress.
Client Feedback
Talking about the incident and breaking this down to understand all my thoughts and emotions around it, helped me to understand my accident was out of my control and helped me re gain my confidence.
Client Feedback
Having someone explain how CBT works and guiding you on the right path back to where you want to be.
Client Feedback
I wanted to say a big thank you for all your support. I cannot thank you enough for your support in giving me EMDR sessions that changed a lot for me.
Client Feedback
Thanks for all your hard work and listening to me, supporting me to get to where I am today, without you -I'd still be in the dark. With your help and support I am a different person looking forward to a brighter positive life. Thanks again.
Client Feedback
Thank you for making me happy again and back to normal. Knowing I contact you if things go downhill is the lifeline I need. Thanks again.
Client Feedback
When I first saw Sarah I was in a VERY dark place and felt that there was no point in living if I'm honest, I didn't see the point in living on as I was and had decided to end it, but Sarah took me from that horrible place and made me believe in myself and made me believe that I could make a difference to myself, Sarah took me to where I am now, Will I ever get that ill again? I don't know the answer to that, but what I do know is that if the worst happened...

Sarah is very patient, a good listener and gives useful and practical suggestions.
Client Feedback
Sarah is a great listener and a calming empathetic influence. Given the nature of the situation she was able to rapidly adjust her communication style to meet the needs of the session (despite the tone being somewhat unpredictable). I would recommend Sarah without hesitation (and have done to a work colleague already).
Client Feedback
Everything was written down so I could understand it and refer back to it and Sarah's calm manner and the way she listened and understood me, she is brilliant. I can highly recommend her.

I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. Her help and skills have been invaluable.
