SARAH NOEL
Humanistic Integrative Counsellor
“I have over 15 years of experience in the health and social care industry. Working with Children and Adults have been at the forefront of my career, focusing on mental well-being and life style changes.
I am a qualified social worker and Counsellor, I have worked in Child Protection, fostering, residential and the court team. I have completed independent assessments as an expert witness in Private Law for separated and divorced families. I specialise in reunification work, parent facilitation and family therapy. I currently work in schools counselling children and teenagers as well as running workshops and delivering one to one parenting support programmes.
Shaping Lives Today was created to support individuals' needs, address challenges, build confidence, focus on goals and provide a safe space to discuss past and present concerns.
During the start of lockdown in 2020, I decided to make changes to my own life. I embarked on a journey of change and studied Counselling, Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness to combine with my social work skills. My focus was to support individuals that were going through difficulties with every day life challenges.
The pandemic was a difficult time for everyone and affected people in one way or another. Seeing the world change, I was motivated to learn and put my already existing skills into something far more significant, to help individuals cope and manage life adversities which I also had to do.
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Counsellor and Mindfulness coach. I can use mindfulness techniques, counselling skills, and other therapeutic models to aid change.
I specialise in children, families and adults. I have experience working with children with special educational needs, such as ADHD, autism and emotional and behavioural difficulties. I can support families involved with Children's services or in care proceedings and support foster carers. I support children and adults by offering direct work, through play therapy, mindfulness, coaching and Hypnotherapy, depending on the need of the individual.
I am passionate about helping others make positive changes. Sessions are tailored to meet individual needs and can involve a variety of techniques.
