New! “Sarah has changed my life forever. I went to Sarah after generic counselling and CBT wasn’t working for me. I suffer with extreme health anxiety and OCD and when I met Sarah, I was struggling and finding it harder and harder to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Through Havening techniques and hypnotherapy, I am now able to live again and not just live but feel alive. I am now in control, not my anxiety or intrusive thoughts. I wish I had met Sarah sooner and I know she’s only a call away if ever I need to check in again.” BW – Thame
New! “Working with Sarah has been quite a revelation. She has the experience and ability to get quickly to the root of an issue, however deeply buried it may seem. Her methods are very thorough, quick and pain-free. One issue in particular I had been stuck with for years despite my trying ‘everything’ and having to spend a lot of money. I’m happy to say that after just a couple of sessions – I am now free from that and have noticed many other side benefits as a result of this. There’s a wonderful mix in Sarah’s work of professional, scientific know-how ensuring you are in good hands, and down-to earth humour. Both of these were very much appreciated. Thank you, Sarah!” IJ Aylesbury
New! “I started my sessions with Sarah after feeling depressed, anxious and out of control from the past 2 years of the pandemic. Through Sarah’s help, she educated me on the way the brain functions when in panic and she taught me very useful techniques such as Havening. She also helped me address my perfectionism and past traumatic experiences which has previously contributed to my anorexia. I was initially quite scared about getting help but Sarah has a really positive, enthusiastic approach, making you feel very welcomed and relaxed in the sessions and that progress is always possible! I quickly began to really look forward to going to the sessions, seeing it as a necessary investment in my own health and an hour of self care and growth – I would highly recommend Sarah’s services to anyone who is needing some extra help and support.” CS Princes Risborough
“I was introduced to Sarah when my marriage was going through a very bad patch. I was very nervous about what to expect, how to behave and what to say. Sarah immediately made me feel comfortable, welcome, and not alone. She guided me with professionalism and care, she was candid and very clear about what was going on, and she made me think hard about where I was.The tools she used enabled me to support myself when not in the counselling sessions. She was very honest and made me see things more clearly – things that I had not done right, and she helped me address those areas.
Not only did Sarah help me understand what was going on in my relationship, but she also helped me understand ‘Me’, and what was really going on in my life, what I needed, what I wanted, and what I was not getting within my relationship. Most importantly she was not judgemental.I have grown so much since our first session, I do understand my needs more clearly now, and whatever happens in the future, I feel that I am going to be a better and happier person. And I have also learned to love myself a little (lot) more. Thank you for all you have done and how you have helped me ‘see’.” SM Little Kimble, Princes Risborough
“I contacted Sarah in desperation. Having never dealt with or experienced any form of mental health issues, I was terrified. I was in an extremely bad way. A friend of a friend recommended Sarah and I obtained her telephone number. I rang the number, expecting to leave a voicemail for her to contact me in the morning, and to my surprised she answered. I couldn’t believe she answered me, and was so warm and calm whilst I was so vulnerable. She asked me to describe my issues briefly, which I did and she reassured me despite my initial inner cynic. (Having never experienced mental health issues).
I honestly felt as though there was something wrong with me, which was going to then be permanent for the rest of my life. I thought that no one would be able to help me and was at a point whereby, I didn’t want wake up in the morning.
I started working with Sarah. My first session, I remember my body language, and I was so closed. How a stranger can be so strong and trying to try their upmost to get me to open up; I look back now and think how amazing she was. Sarah got me to open up, and start talking about my issues and feelings. I was absolutely distraught and at my wits end with everything. I couldn’t function with day to day life through trauma and grief.
Sarah and I continued to work together, I believe for over a year. Sarah taught me and trained me to enable me to assure myself with BWRT Therapy and Havening Techniques. I have learnt to deal with my trauma and have processed it through her guidance and her patience. She hit the nail on the head with my issues extremely quickly and assisted me with processing them. This wasn’t just in weekly sessions, but whenever I needed.
I cannot recommend Sarah enough. Sarah saved me life, my relationship and my sanity. Thank you Sarah. They’re no amount of words that will ever be able to describe what you did for me and I will be forever grateful.” RM Northamptonshire
For 17 years I have been under the NHS treatment for depression and anxiety with very little change in my condition. I found Sarah nine months ago and she has been excellent in resolving most of my issues. I would recommend her to anyone suffering mental health problems or coping with stress to give her a try. I would like to thank her for all of her help. SP, Haddenham
‘It was wonderful to work with Sarah on my stress and anxiety issues; she made me feel very at ease and supported at all times. The tool box of techniques she used (which I could also use by myself) have helped immeasurably.’ AC Wendover
Forever I’ve been a foodaholic! Never full, always grazing, constantly overweight and obsessed with sugary, fatty foods. Since meeting Sarah, I feel free from the burden of negative food and find myself craving healthy options every day. I’ve lost another 2 stone that I was desperate to lose, making a total loss of 5 stone. Everyday it feels good to be alive! I’m positive, active and loving my new lifestyle! Thank you Sarah. TC Aston Clinton
Sarah has been a tremendous help in stopping my craving for cheese and snacks using a combination of Havening Technique and Hypnotherapy. Sarah also showed me some useful techniques to relax and calm down. Absolutely recommend getting in contact with Sarah for a wide range of stress management therapies. All sessions were carried out over Zoom call so completely social distancing compliant. GC Aston Clinton
Just a note to thank you for your help and guidance. You’ve proved that you are never to old to change! Change your inner thoughts and perceptions of yourself. I realise that I still have a lot to do to ensure I don’t relapse, it’s good to know that you’re just up the road! Thank you and very best wishes AV Princes Risborough
“After struggling for many years about coming forward with certain problems with previous councillors, I had essentially thrown in the towel and had a downer on Therapy. This only hindered me more until I was at the point of mercy with my own emotions. I finally reached out to Sarah in desperation and for the first time I had a clear understanding of what Therapy really is about. I was apprehensive at first, but over the next few months Sarah helped me in ways I didn’t even consider before. Using BWRT amongst other techniques and she explained how exactly the mind itself works and building from there.
Fast forward a little while later and I feel like a fresh version of myself, who has come an enormous length in terms of emotional well-being and general life improvement. I am very happy to have found Sarah Brambleby and would definitely recommend her services. Thank you Sarah.” JC Nr Reading
“Sarah provided me with an invaluable tool box of strategies to deal with my anxieties when they were particularly acute. I found her approach of one to one sessions backed up with notes to take away and refer to when I was struggling at home really helped me get back on track and keep a lid on my anxiety.” LS Thame
“After my first session with Sarah, I instinctively knew that her approach would help me. By digging deep into traumatic areas, Sarah helped me to understand my behaviour and gave me the answers and guidance that I needed. Sarah enabled me to clear my mind and move forward. She has given me a virtual toolbox when facing stressful situations. Most importantly (for me) Sarah has given me the confidence to realise that I have great qualities and I’m actually quite proud of what I have achieved. Thank you for being on my journey during what was a very difficult time in my life. Always grateful.”

JA, Princes Risborough
“I am feeling very well at the moment and sleeping very well and not taking any sleeping pills or likewise. I have taken trips with our children and have coped very well. The big test is yet to come when I go on holidays with them, but I feel positive about that. Also I would like to thank you for helping me to feel a lot better with the problems.” BK, Hughenden Valley
“I was so worried about getting treatment for my issues, but you were so supportive and caring. In the end not only you help me solved my problems, but I really enjoyed our sessions together.”
LF, Aylesbury
“I felt so alone, even my GP was being unhelpful in supporting me with my problems. Luckily through a chance meeting I met Sarah Brambleby who was able to really listen to me and my issues. She was brilliant at getting to the heart of my problems and together we worked them through. Now I’m feeling so much more confident in tacking life’s little ups and downs and this is all thanks to Sarah!”
SD, Thame
“I’m feeling so much better and emotionally the improvement has been phenomenal. Thank you so, so much.”
Mrs H, Thame
After breaking my wrist, I developed Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. This condition makes my brain believe I am still injured and produces chemicals that produce swelling and pain even though all X-rays prove that my break has healed. In pain and desperation, I found Sarah thank goodness! Sarah was so lovely and friendly she worked with me using the Havening Technique. I began to realise I had a lot of pent-up emotions regarding my accident. Sarah helped me to come to terms with my emotions and shared tools to help me cope with the pain. I also learned how to calm myself whenever I feel anxious. I cannot thank Sarah enough. AE, Loosley Row
“I had some sessions with Sarah whilst I was dealing with insomnia and they helped me greatly. What I liked most about Sarah’s approach is her diversity. Whilst having hypnosis sessions with her, she also taught me some powerful techniques that I could use on my own to help deal with my phobia. Sarah is a lovely, warm-hearted person and I always felt completely at ease with her. It has almost been six months since I started therapy and my phobia of not sleeping has completely gone. I still use Sarah’s techniques to this day. Thank you, Sarah! You have given me the most amazing tools to bring me out of a really dark place. I feel like a completely different person.” HS, Princes Risborough
