Sally Humphries, BACP, NCPS

Sally Humphries is a registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and depression. Her practice also includes support for those affected by autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, cancer, divorce and separation, and related life changes.

Sally focuses on building a straightforward therapeutic relationship. She keeps conversations honest and down-to-earth. Sessions centre on listening, reflecting and helping people notice what matters to them. Her approach is client-centred, which means the person in front of her guides the pace and topics of the work.

Clients come with many different problems. Sally has supported people through panic, postpartum depression, midlife shifts, guilt and shame, and the emotional impact of illness and bereavement. She has also worked with those facing infidelity, family of origin issues and the stresses that follow separation.

In practical terms she helps people talk through current problems, sort out difficult feelings, and consider steps they can try between sessions. Conversations tend to be plain and focused rather than theoretical. The emphasis is on what a person wants to change and how to move towards that in small, manageable steps.

Sally’s long experience means she has seen many different life situations. People who contact her will find a counsellor who listens closely and supports them in naming what feels difficult, and in planning realistic next steps.
