About Sarah

Hello, I’m Sarah Reeve

I am an integrative therapist based in Harlow, Essex, offering both online and in-person therapy sessions for adults.

I hold a BSc in Integrative Therapy and I am a registered member of the BACP, currently working towards accreditation. As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches including person-centred, psychodynamic, Gestalt, existential and CBT modalities, adapting the way I work to suit you as an individual.

Alongside my professional training and therapeutic work, my personal experiences have deepened my understanding of how emotional wellbeing, physical health, neurodiversity and everyday life can become closely connected.

As a mother of three and someone living within a neurodiverse family environment, I understand that life can often feel emotionally complex, overwhelming and demanding. I also recognise that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, particularly if you’ve spent years feeling misunderstood, masking parts of yourself, or wondering whether anyone will truly understand your experiences. My hope is to offer a space where you don’t have to pretend, explain everything perfectly, or be anyone other than yourself.

I believe therapy is not about “fixing” people, but about creating a space where you feel able to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, so building a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, accepted and genuinely heard is at the heart of how I work. Together, we can explore whatever has brought you to therapy, at a pace that feels right for you.

Many people worry about becoming emotional within therapy sessions, but there is never any expectation to “hold it together” here. Therapy is a space where your thoughts, feelings and emotions are welcome, and you never need to apologise for expressing them. Whatever may be bringing you to therapy, you do not have to navigate it alone.

Mind and body

Supporting the relationship between mind and body

Living with chronic illness, pain or physical changes can affect far more than just the body. It can influence emotional wellbeing, identity, independence, relationships and the way we view ourselves. Therapy offers an opportunity to gently explore these experiences with compassion and curiosity, at a pace that feels right for you.

Our relationship with food and our bodies is often shaped by emotions, life experiences, coping mechanisms and the messages we receive from the world around us. Therapy can help explore patterns around food, body image, shame and emotional wellbeing with gentleness, curiosity and compassion.

I also understand that difficulties surrounding food, weight and body image are often far more complex than simply “willpower” or “eat less and move more.” Emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, chronic stress, trauma, comfort, shame and life experiences can all play a role in the relationship we have with food and ourselves.
