SARAH JAYNE BUCHANAN. MA, MBACP.

Welcome.
I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy for women in Wimbledon SW19 who want to feel more connected to themselves, their bodies, and more in control of their life choices. Whether you are dealing with stress, trauma, or navigating complex life challenges, I provide a respectful space where we can work together at your pace.

Above all, I’m deeply committed to shared power in healing spaces, and collaborative ways of working. In the spirit of this, in addition and complement to my work with clients, I am engaged in research that brings light to the importance of professional commitment to these values. I will write more on my current research soon, and in the meantime you can read about the themes here.

If you choose to enter into therapy with me, this commitment means that your insight into your own experiences, feelings, and instincts sits alongside my professional training and both are equally valued in the therapeutic process. In therapeutic language this is called ‘intersubjectivity’ and if you are further interested in the different quality of this approach, you can find a link to psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin explaining it here. My role is to support the women I work with to access greater choice, autonomy, and agency in their lives.

If you’re curious, I invite you to explore more about how I work, read about my approach, or get in touch to ask any questions. You’re very welcome here.
