Sarah Turner

Psychotherapist

My professional career spans over two decades, across the board in all areas of development.

Part of my offer is to combine these unique experiences to provide a therapeutic space for parents to explore, express and be guided around issues they are facing with their children, to help parents understand what their child’s behaviour is communicating.

I use my knowledge of neuro-science to explore the trauma and break the patterns created by intergenerational trauma.

The Intercultural approach embraces richness of difference and diversity leaning into the wealth of the individual’s culture, fostering a stronger sense of self-worth, healing, and growth.

Will Writer and Estate Planning Consultant

I help individuals and families navigate periods of uncertainty with clarity and confidence.

Having been through a similar experience myself, I understand how it feels and aim to make things simple and supportive. I take a holistic view, helping clients plan, protect, preserve and pass on what matters to the right people – creating peace of mind while considering wider areas such as life insurance, death in service benefits, income protection and family income benefit.
