Hello, I'm Sara Rae, a Clinical Associate in Applied Psychology, specialising in CBT. Working across NHS and private practice, including addiction support and life coaching, I bring a multicultural perspective shaped by my Guatemalan-Scottish background.
My own experience of adapting to new challenges deeply influences how I support others in their therapeutic journey.

Evidence-based, collaborative therapy tailored to individual needs
Starting therapy can feel like a significant step. My priority is to create a comfortable, supportive environment from the outset. I work collaboratively, exploring challenges together at a pace that feels appropriate for you. Effective therapy requires partnership—I bring clinical expertise while you bring invaluable insight into your own experiences.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach examining the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we'll develop practical strategies to address your specific challenges. I also integrate third-wave approaches including mindfulness-based strategies, compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), ensuring treatment aligns with your individual goals and values.
Therapy should provide a safe, non-judgemental space for open dialogue, confidence building, and developing effective coping strategies. I approach each session with professional compassion, understanding, and confidence in your capacity for positive change.
