Helping you heal from painful or overwhelming experiences — in your personal life or at work — that has left a lasting mark.

Specialist psychological therapy using EMDR Therapy and Schema Therapy to help you make sense of, and heal from, distressing or harmful work experiences.

Hi, I am Dr Sara Schamborg – and I’m glad you are here.

I have over 15 years’ experience supporting people navigating trauma and a range of mental health challenges. Through this work, I’ve seen how distressing experiences can shape the way we feel, see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world.

 

My approach is warm, non-judgemental, and grounded in evidence-based therapies, while always being tailored to you as an individual. Together, we can gently explore what’s been difficult, make sense of your experiences, and support you in healing, shifting unhelpful patterns, and rebuilding a sense of safety, confidence, and self-worth.

"I found talking to Sara so easy, she made it all feel safe and comfortable, gradually bad stuff drifted away... I can't thank Sara enough for all her help, it has really helped me a lot. It's got my life back on track".
