EMOTION-FOCUSED and attachmenT-based THERAPY for individuals and relationships

Lower Mainland-based // serving all of BC

Meet Sarah Watson

Whatever brings you through the door, therapy can be a container for growth, healing, and change—my role is to guide and support you through that process. Healing is not a straight line, and I will hold space for you to share, explore, challenge, and transform. I primarily work through emotion focused, attachment, and somatic lenses, with additional training in the worlds of sex therapy and relationships. I’m someone with a lot of big feelings, who has spent many hours on the other side of the couch as a client – I got into this work from a place of wanting to help others on their journeys, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to hold a safe container for you to process and feel what needs to be felt. 

Wherever we start, we will end up in the right place. Together, we can help you find a deeper understanding and embodiment of your feelings, process and move trauma out of your system, gain insight on your needs and boundaries, and work to leave behind what no longer serves you. 

Some of my relevant identities to our work – I am white, queer, gender non-confirming, neurodivergent, & I have navigated the mental health system in ways that inform my relationship to diagnosis. I work hard to be allied with people who are 2SLGBTQ+, disabled, traumatized, members of the BIPOC community, and sex workers, and I welcome folks in normative and non-normative relationships. I work well with folks diganosed (formally or self-) with C-PTSD, BPD, panic + anxiety disorders, and with developmental trauma. I am less of a fit for folks whose primary reason for seeking therapy is depression, substance use, executive function, or an eating disorder – but I am very comfortable working with these experiences if they are a part of your picture.

At this time I am not taking on new clients.
