Sarah Young – Senior Trainee Counsellor

I’m a trainee counsellor currently undertaking the CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, valued, and supported at your own pace. My person-centred approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and genuine presence.

Alongside my training, I’ve volunteered with charities in Bristol, including Womankind, where I supported women experiencing trauma, abuse, and life challenges. I’ve also contributed to community initiatives such as Caring at Christmas, which deepened my appreciation for the importance of connection and compassion.

Before training as a counsellor, I worked in Human Resources, supporting people through sensitive and complex situations. My personal experiences of caring for loved ones through illness and mental health difficulties have also shaped the way I work—bringing a deep sense of empathy, understanding, and humanity into the counselling space.

I truly believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship and feel privileged to offer a safe space for exploration, healing, and growth.
