Sarah Lyst - Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

I have a limited number of reduced fee spaces for those who are unemployed or on disability benefits. Please contact me if the full fee is unaffordable to you.

I trained to become a counsellor over 10 years ago now, long before the realisation that I was neurodivergent. In that time I have also completed a psychology degree and have developed an interest in trauma, which is extremely important when it comes to working with neurodivergent people. This is because they are much more likely to have experienced trauma. It is something I continue to learn about as so little research has been done on neurodivergent people and the effects of trauma.

I am also LGBTQIA+. The world of neurodivergent therapists is slowly growing, which is a joy to see but it can be hard to find a therapist that might be right for you. I mention being LGBTQIA+ because neurodivergent people are overrepresented in this group. We are also much more likely to identify as trans or non-binary and have non-traditional relationship styles such as polyamory.
