About Sallie Edwards
Sallie Edwards is a qualified integrative counsellor with 4 years of professional experience and holds BACP membership, which indicates alignment with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked with people from many different backgrounds and presents a practical, empathetic approach to a wide range of emotional and relational concerns.
In her personal life she supports her autistic daughter and so brings direct insight into the mental health challenges that autistic girls and their families can face. Issues such as late diagnosis, masking, school attendance, anxiety and friendship difficulties are familiar to her, and she also has first-hand experience parenting a child with Tourette Syndrome and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). That combination of professional and personal experience informs her understanding of family dynamics and parenting stress.
Sallie draws on person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural (CBT) approaches, tailoring techniques to suit each individual. She places particular importance on the therapeutic relationship and works to create an environment where a person feels heard, respected and free from judgement. When a client feels understood, they are better able to explore their thoughts and emotions and to discover clearer ways forward.
People come to her with many concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, addictions, anger, career issues, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also offers support around attachment and abandonment issues, ageing and caregiver stress, communication problems, chronic illness and disability, loneliness, and related areas. Counselling with Sallie provides an opportunity to talk through feelings without fear of upsetting others and to focus on the client’s needs and goals.
She gently explores how past experiences continue to influence present thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and will challenge unhelpful patterns where appropriate. For those managing anxiety or panic attacks she works collaboratively to identify triggers and to develop calming strategies for body and mind, aiming to rebuild confidence so clients can return to activities they value.
Sallie is described as down to earth and approachable, and she takes the pace of therapy from the client’s lead. Her style is practical and compassionate, with an emphasis on helping people understand themselves better and find constructive ways forward.
