May Sahar

Counsellor, Psychotherapy Services and Couples Therapist

Growing our understanding of ourselves, as we are today, and how we were shaped from our earliest beginnings, is the foundation for building a satisfying and meaningful life.

Areas of Special Interest

  • anxiety
  • building a sturdy sense of self
  • grief & loss of all kinds
  • recovery from difficult or painful early family experiences
  • recognising relationship patterns that leave us feeling disconnected and lonely (intimate partner, family members, friends, work colleagues)
  • loss of meaning and purpose

Counselling Services

I offer counselling and psychotherapy services. You may have a long standing issue that is keeping you stuck in repetitive and unsatisfying patterns, a more immediate crisis that is causing you distress, or you may not quite know what the cause is, but you do know you are not feeling as good about your life as you would like to.

You can become more aware of your inner emotional landscape, make sense of your experiences, and grow psychologically and emotionally so that you are freer to make choices leading to a more fulfilling life.

Counselling Approach

We are all a work in progress, and sometimes life can be very hard. Talking with an experienced professional like myself, where you are not judged, and whatever you bring is met with kindness and curiosity, creates a space for new possibilities to emerge.

Background and Experience

I have been working as a counsellor and therapist, with individuals and couples, for 25 years. Human beings are complex and unique individual’s, and I never stop learning.

I consult with a Clinical Supervisor on a weekly basis, which is an important part of my ongoing knowledge and development as a practitioner, and an ethical commitment to safe and best practice for my clients.
