Counselling support in Cambridge & online

Helping you thrive at work, at study and in your life

Contact: sarah@confidocounselling.co.uk to discuss your counselling needs

Life doesn’t always slow down when you need it to. Work, study or a change of personal circumstances can leave you overwhelmed, stuck or doubting yourself — with little space to pause and work out what’s next.

Counselling provides a calm, confidential space to reflect and make sense of what you’re carrying — so you can regain perspective and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I’m Sarah, a Cambridge-based, BACP-registered counsellor with an interest in supporting people through life and career changes and with their workplace wellbeing.

I work with adults of all ages and offer a thoughtful, compassionate approach to sessions, which are tailored to your unique needs.

Pause, reflect, reset

I support clients with a wide range of issues including, but not limited to:

  • Life transitions: adulting, parenthood, quarter- or mid-life crisis, empty nest syndrome, separation, divorce, relationship dynamics

  • Career transitions: career change, promotion, redundancy, retirement

  • Workplace issues: team dynamics, resolving conflict, bullying, mistakes at work 

  • Anxiety, panic attacks and overthinking

  • Stress, burnout, and overwhelm

  • Loss of direction, motivation or purpose

  • Impostor syndrome, low confidence and self-worth

How counselling with me can help

Understanding the pressures of work, life and study

Long hours, demanding cultures and changing personal circumstances can gradually erode mental health. Having worked across several sectors and navigated significant transitions myself, I understand how deeply these pressures can affect wellbeing. I support individuals from varied backgrounds and professions, each facing their own distinct challenges.

Support for your unique challenges

Whether you’re a professional depleted by constant demands, a student managing deadlines and perfectionism, or someone at a life or career crossroads. I tailor my approach to your circumstances, goals and concerns, meeting you where you are.

A calm space to reflect

Counselling with me offers a confidential space to slow down and explore what’s happening for you. Many clients say it’s the first time they’ve felt able to speak openly about the pressures they face - and the relief of being heard can be transformative.

Embedding lasting change

Clients often develop a healthier relationship with work, study and loved ones, reconnect with their values, and gain greater clarity and direction. They describe feeling more confident setting boundaries, less overwhelmed by stress, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges.

How I work

I am a talk therapist who seeks to understand you, your values and your unique circumstances. I aim to create an open atmosphere and build a relationship of trust where you feel able to express whatever is on your mind.

Our work is collaborative - I am not here to offer solutions but am keen to find ways to support and challenge you towards greater insight of your issues and help foster personal growth.

In our sessions, you’ll find space to:

  • Explore what’s been going on beneath the surface

  • Identify unhelpful patterns that may be holding you back

  • Develop healthier coping strategies

  • Reconnect with your values and priorities

  • Set clear, respectful boundaries

  • Gain perspective and clarity on your next steps

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on different therapeutic models together with my own insights, to meet your individual needs. This could mean looking at ways of managing your stress, working with mindfulness or using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to reframe your thought processes and help instil change.

You are always at the heart of our discussions and I will be led by you at a pace that feels right for you.

Where I work

Flexible sessions

I know how hard it can be to carve out time for yourself when your schedule already feels overloaded.

I offer online sessions throughout the week to clients anywhere in the world.

I offer in-person sessions at

  • 8AKP in central Cambridge (CB2, opposite King’s College)

  • William Collyn Centre in Girton (CB3)

  • Hitchin Counselling & Psychology Centre (from mid-April 2026)

Evening and weekend appointments are also available, so you can access support when it works for you.

My fees

Given that you may spend a number of hours in therapy, it is important that you find the right counsellor for you. For that reason, I offer a free, no obligation call for prospective clients.
