About me and my therapy practice
I am an EMDR Consultant, ±«ÓãÊÓÆµAccredited Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor specialising in anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm and longstanding patterns that can be difficult to change.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety and overthinking, intrusive thoughts, chronic stress and burnout, trauma symptoms, relationship and attachment difficulties, and difficulties with emotional regulation. Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent, including adults with ADHD and/or autism, as well as people exploring whether neurodivergence may be relevant to their experiences. My approach takes account of how neurodiversity can interact with anxiety, relationships, stress, emotional regulation and previous experiences.
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing on psychotherapy and EMDR therapy according to individual need. I work collaboratively to understand not only the symptoms affecting you now, but also the patterns and experiences that may be keeping difficulties going, with the aim of creating meaningful and lasting change.
You can find more information about how I work, EMDR therapy and psychotherapy on my website: www.sarapomfret.com
Practice description
You may cope well on the surface, while underneath things feel much more difficult to manage. You might find yourself overthinking, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, or understanding things logically without this changing how you feel. Sometimes past experiences or longstanding patterns continue to affect the present, leaving you feeling stuck despite your efforts to move forward.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, intrusive thoughts and overthinking, chronic stress and burnout, trauma symptoms, relationship and attachment difficulties, and difficulties with emotional regulation. Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent, including adults with ADHD and/or autism, as well as people exploring whether neurodivergence may be relevant to their experiences.
I am an integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapist and EMDR Consultant. Rather than using one approach for everyone, I draw on psychotherapy, EMDR and stabilisation-focused approaches according to your individual needs. We work collaboratively to understand what is happening now, what may be contributing to it, and what might help create meaningful and lasting change.
I have over 16 years' experience across private practice, NHS services and education. I work with adults online across the UK and face-to-face in Lytham St Annes, including private clients and people accessing therapy through health insurance.

My first session
Our first session is an opportunity to understand what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re experiencing now and what you would like to change.
We’ll begin to explore the different factors that may be contributing to your difficulties, including relevant past experiences, current stresses, relationships and patterns that may be keeping things going. This helps us build a shared understanding of what is happening and what approach may be most helpful.
We can then think together about whether psychotherapy, EMDR therapy, or a combination of approaches may best meet your needs. There’s no pressure to commit — the aim is for you to leave with a clearer understanding of your difficulties, your options and whether working together feels like the right fit. I offer a free 20-minute consultation if you would like to talk briefly before deciding whether to book a first session. You can book this directly through my website or contact me to arrange a time.

About me and my therapy practice
I am an Accredited Psychotherapist, EMDR Consultant and Clinical Supervisor with over 16 years’ experience working across private practice and higher education.
Alongside my clinical work, I am a Lecturer at The Open University, and bring a strong emphasis on reflective practice, ethical working, and ongoing professional development into my supervision.
I specialise in trauma-informed therapy, including complex trauma, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and neurodiversity. I have worked across a number of services over the last 16 yrs as a therapist include NHS IAPT services, Substance Misuse services and with Employment Assisted Programmes (EAPs).
In addition to therapy, I offer clinical supervision for Psychotherapists and EMDR consultation for EMDR practitioners across the UK. This includes individual supervision and small, contained consultation groups for those wanting to deepen their confidence in working with trauma and EMDR.
I also provide reflective and professionally focused supervision for staff working in emotionally demanding support roles, including helpline services, ISVA and IDVA practitioners, and other non-clinical helping professionals and teams.
My approach is warm, grounded and collaborative, while also offering clear clinical thinking and structure where needed. I aim to provide a supportive space where supervisees can think openly about their work, develop confidence, and maintain sustainable practice.
I support supervisees working with:
Trauma and PTSD
EMDR practice and consultation
Dissociation and emotional regulation
Attachment difficulties
Neurodiversity
Risk, complexity and ethical decision-making
Burnout, overwhelm and practitioner wellbeing
Reflective practice and professional development
Supervision is adapted to your role, experience, and professional setting, whether you are an experienced therapist, trainee, support worker, or part of a wider helping profession team.
Practice description
I offer clinical Psychotherapy, Clinical supervision and EMDR consultation for therapists working with trauma, complexity, and emotional overwhelm.

• Nervous system regulation

I support therapists to:
• Work safely with trauma, dissociation, and complexity
• Navigate stuck or challenging clinical work

Alongside individual supervision, I also offer small EMDR consultation groups focused on reflective practice, clinical discussion, confidence-building, and safe trauma work.
In addition to therapists, I also provide reflective and professionally focused supervision for staff working in emotionally demanding support roles, including helpline services, ISVA and IDVA practitioners, and other helping professionals and teams.
Sessions are offered online across the UK, with some in-person availability.
My first session
In the first session, we take time to understand what’s bringing you to supervision or consultation, and what you’re hoping to gain from the work.
For therapists, the initial session offers space to explore your current clinical work, the types of clients you’re seeing, and what you’re looking for from supervision or EMDR consultation. You’re welcome to bring a specific case, or to use the space more broadly for reflection, formulation, and professional development.
For practitioners working in emotionally demanding support roles, the session can also provide space for reflective practice, emotional processing, decision-making, and sustainable working.
The first session also gives us an opportunity to consider whether working together feels like the right fit. There is no obligation to continue.
You’re very welcome to get in touch if you’d like to arrange an initial conversation or find out more.
