About Sarah
Warm, non-judgemental and experienced — here to support you
I am a qualified, accredited and experienced therapeutic counsellor, working with an integrative approach within the ethical framework of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am warm, compassionate and neurodivergence affirming.
My approach
I have over ten years' experience supporting adults through grief, bereavement, life-limiting illness, and a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, identity, neurodiversity, and relationship difficulties.
I combine extensive specialist training in grief and bereavement with person-centred practice and evidence-based approaches such as Transactional Analysis and DBT to provide tailored, empathetic support that meets each client's individual needs.
I am committed to delivering sensitive, high-quality care while supporting patients, families, and fellow professionals through complex and life-changing circumstances.

What I believe
The values I bring to every session
Warmth
Every person who comes to me deserves to feel genuinely heard, held and safe — not processed or judged. Warmth and lack of judgement will always be available, humour will often be appropriate too...
Individuality
You are not defined by a diagnosis or a label. Our work together will be about your unique experience and identity.
Neurodivergence affirming
I offer a fully affirming space for neurodivergent clients, respecting different ways of thinking, feeling and communicating.
Ethical practice
I work within the BACP Ethical Framework and am committed to ongoing supervision, CPD and reflective practice.
Peer testimonial
I have worked alongside Sarah Bachra for five years, and I value her enormously as a colleague. Sarah brings a rare combination of warmth and professionalism to everything she does. As a therapist, she is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply skilled; the kind of practitioner clients feel safe with quickly. This is because they sense the integrity and care beneath her calm, steady presence. She holds the work with real respect, never rushing the process, always meeting the person in front of her where they are. What stands out most to me is her quiet reliability. She is punctual, prepared, and accountable, yet never lets that edge into rigidity. She is reflective and open, always willing to look at her own practice honestly, exactly the quality you want in someone you trust with vulnerable material, whether as a client or a colleague. I would recommend Sarah wholeheartedly as a peer and collaborator.
