About Sarah Bayford

Sarah Bayford practices from a relational foundation, focusing on the patterns and connections that shape how people relate to others and to themselves. She works with interpersonal difficulties across family, friendship and workplace settings while also addressing the internal barriers - such as shame, guilt, anxiety, stress and depression - that can prevent people from living in line with their values and potential.

Through collaborative exploration, she supports clients in identifying unhelpful patterns and discovering new ways of being that feel more comfortable and authentic. Her work often centres on helping people develop a kinder relationship with themselves, learn to set boundaries such as saying no, and build the self-worth needed to form healthier relationships with others.

Sarah brings experience as an adult therapist and is qualified to work with young adults. She is currently training to work with children and young people, broadening her clinical range. Her clinical approach draws on attachment-based methods and a range of therapeutic models to suit different needs and presentations.

She holds the credential BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. More information is available at sarah-bayford-counselling-and-psychotherapy.co.uk
