Psychotherapy And Counselling
In Hay-on-Wye, Herefordshire | By Online Video
Think You Might Need To Talk To Someone?
Welcome. My name is Sarah Hamilton. I am an experienced and fully accredited psychotherapist and counsellor, working from my clinic in Hay-on-Wye (Herefordshire), and also by secure online video. I offer one-to-one sessions for adults of all ages – there is no upper age limit for achieving change in therapy.
I specialise in resolving issues related to trauma, including PTSD, complex trauma and dissociation. I have particular experience in working with older people, those on the autistic spectrum, and adults who went to boarding school.
I have trained in a wide range of approaches so I can work flexibly and effectively, either short-term or long-term, to help you:
- Overcome trauma, and find peace and healing
- Find relief from anxiety and depression
- Transform anger and low self-esteem
- Navigate bereavement, divorce, and other difficult life experiences
- Find the courage to live richly and fully
“I would never be at the place I am now if it were not for Sarah and our sessions.”
Feedback from a client
Am I The Right Psychotherapist Or Counsellor For You?
The talking therapies have an excellent overall success rate. Research shows that on average, 80% of people who undertake counselling at times of stress feel better than those who don’t.
But the process is basically a conversation, a human interaction – and that means it’s hugely affected by how well the people ‘fit’ together.
So, to have the best chance of success, the most important thing is to find a psychotherapist or counsellor you feel comfortable with.
“Sarah tailored her approach perfectly to me and my situation – empathic, constructive, thought-provoking. Today, I feel mentally stronger, physically calmer, and altogether much more positive and confident.”

Professional, Effective Psychotherapy And Counselling
Effective therapy is a joint endeavour. Working together, we can begin to untangle the stuck places, and find your unique path forwards.
I can't tell in advance where that process will take us. But I do know that whatever your story, wherever you find yourself in life, every part of you will be welcome in our sessions.
