Wild Scenery
Welcome,
I'm Sarah McDonough and I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist.

My approach to working with clients moves towards integrating the whole person; mind, body, spirit. I am here to work collaboratively and creatively to help you deal with the concerns and challenges that you face. My depth oriented Gestalt approach enables therapy to catalyze lasting change and supports the development of a deeper sense of joy and meaning in life. During a session, in addition to talking, we may work experientially; exploring the different parts of you, looking at dreams, practicing breath work and mindfulness, or even journeying with guided-imagery.

Together, we create and honour what works for you.

Working integratively involves employing a myriad of different methods to support you in connecting more deeply with your truth- and thus, nurturing that trust within yourself, so that you feel more confident and centred riding the inevitable waves of life. I believe it is willingness and curiosity that have helped my clients to recover from past trauma, face and deal with addictions, reduce stress, develop self agency and become more authentic versions of themselves.

I am a compassionate advocate that holds an intentionally anti-racist, intersectional feminist, inclusive space for my clients.

All are welcome.
