Sarah Howells

Before I became a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I was first a client! Counselling has been an indispensable part of my life journey. The strength I have drawn from counselling inspired me to become a counsellor myself. As a mother of two teenagers, working as a teacher for over 18 years, and having experienced much love and loss along the way, I know intimately the trials and tribulations life can bring. I am grateful for the tremendous growth I have gained through these experiences. The importance of being in relationship with others to successfully navigate the inevitable challenges of life cannot be overemphasized. It is through healthy, interpersonal relationships that we grow and heal. Sometimes we don’t have access to those healthy relationships in our everyday lives to facilitate the growth and healing we were created for. There is no better antidote for life’s trials than a personal connection with someone who cares for and supports you along the way. This is where counselling comes in! We are not created to navigate life alone and you don’t have to! If it feels a little scary starting counselling, you’re not alone. It takes courage to be vulnerable with another human and can feel like a big risk. In the safe and confidential environment of counselling, you will experience a non-judgemental relationship where you are accepted just as you are.

I believe in meeting clients where they are, offering both faith-based and secular counselling approaches tailored to your comfort and preferences. My therapy style helps you to connect with your emotions, gain insight, heal wounds, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Through a client-centred approach utilizing multiple modalities and an Attachment Theory lens, I provide a safe space where you can find rest, acceptance, and relationship. Integrating evidence-based theory and compassionate empathy, we will work collaboratively to explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into what is going on, what is hindering you, and develop a plan to increase flourishing in your life.

Many clients reach out to me for support with anxiety and depression. I also work with partners through couples counselling, helping them reconnect and communicate with care. My sessions often include evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside an attachment-informed approach.
