Sallie Edwards, BACP

Sallie Edwards is a qualified integrative counsellor with four years of professional experience, who blends several therapeutic approaches to meet each client's needs. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her standing with a recognised professional body in the United Kingdom. Sallie has worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and with many presenting issues, bringing practical experience and compassionate support to every client.

In her personal life she supports her autistic daughter and has first-hand experience of the specific challenges autistic girls can face, including late diagnosis, masking, school attendance, anxiety and friendship difficulties. Her daughter’s coexisting Tourette Syndrome and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) have also given Sallie direct insight into parenting a child with complex health needs, which informs her understanding of family dynamics and caregiver stress.

Sallie’s practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailoring techniques to suit the individual. She emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change - when a person feels heard, unjudged and respected, they can explore underlying patterns and gain clearer self-understanding. Sallie supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addiction-related concerns, ADHD and a broad range of emotional struggles. She is down to earth, approachable and works at each client’s pace to help unravel thoughts and find a way forward.
