She also has a well-established private practice and specialises in helping people following trauma.
Psychotherapy for Healthcare in action:
Sarah delivered a tailored package of in-house training to teams working within supported
housing and homelessness for Haringey Council. The teams were keen to embed Reflective
Practice as an ongoing aspect of their work, due to the highly stressful nature of support
they provide and the regular challenging incidents they experience.
The package involved training a small group of staff members in setting up and facilitating Reflective Practice Groups, alongside larger group workshops for the future participants of
the groups – this allowed for a good level of preparation and clear understanding of the
requirements of being a group member and the reflective process ahead.
This streamlined approach enabled the Haringey teams to progress and develop with a solid framework for safe and compassionate practice.
