ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Sally Edwards

Psychotherapist, EMDR and Trauma Therapist

Sally Edwards

Welcome

I’m a fully qualified psychotherapist and EMDR therapist. I work primarily online, offering therapy sessions to clients across the UK and internationally, and currently also offer a limited number of in-person sessions in Kent, near Orpington and Bromley.

My specialism is on the impacts of traumatic experiences. I work using a trauma-informed approach, which means instead of asking “What’s wrong with you?” I ask “What’s happened to you?” Because the issues we struggle with often make perfect sense in light of what we’ve lived through.  

 

Many of the people I work with are navigating emotional overwhelm, burnout, or significant life transitions. Outwardly, they may seem capable and composed — but inwardly, they feel stuck, anxious, or depleted. They've reached a point where something needs to shift. The old ways of coping no longer feel sustainable, and parts of life just don’t sit right — even if they can’t yet say exactly why.

They’re not in crisis — but life doesn’t feel quite right. They’ve carried a lot, held things together, and coped silently. But something inside is quietly asking for more. They’re looking for a calm, steady space to reflect, recalibrate, and begin to move forward in a way that feels more like themselves.

 

What I Offer

My work centres on helping clients understand the emotional impact of life’s more difficult chapters — and supporting them to build resilience, ease inner tension, and reconnect with a grounded, resourced sense of self. This is therapy that holds both depth and possibility.

 

I support adults navigating a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including:

  • Anxiety and general worry

  • Depression and low mood

  • Stress and overwhelm

  • PTSD / CPTSD

  • Low self-esteem and self-worth

  • Burnout and emotional exhaustion

  • Feeling stuck, lost or disconnected

  • Emotional sensitivity and dysregulation

  • Perfectionism and inner criticism

  • Grief, loss and emotional adjustment

  • Life transitions (career change, parenting, ageing, menopause, loss, relocation)

  • Relationship difficulties (including patterns of avoidance, people-pleasing or conflict)

  • Difficult family dynamics and early relational patterns

 

I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach that draws on EMDR, somatic, and relational therapies to support meaningful, sustainable change.

 

We work gently and intentionally, at a pace that feels safe and empowering. This isn’t just about easing distress — it’s about helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-leadership.

Please note that I work only with adults (18+) and offer individual therapy sessions. I do not offer couples or group therapy.

I’m an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Member of the EMDR UK Association.
