A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
Professional counselling in Hampshire, within easy access to Winchester, Chandlers Ford, Romsey, Eastleigh and Southampton
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Sara M Lugard Counselling.
Hello, my name is Sara. I am a fully qualified Humanistic Gestalt Counsellor based in Hampshire and a registered member of the BACP. I offer individual and couples counselling to adults (18+) either face-to-face, online or telephone.
I believe that human beings just want to be happy and at ease with themselves and their environment - I know I do! Yet there are times when this seems to elude us, causing difficulties in our personal and professional relationships.
Sometimes we are able to resolve these difficulties ourselves or with the support of friends and family. However, for times when this process is not sufficient or possible, the therapeutic relationship counselling offers can be a positive and helpful experience.
Finding the right counsellor for you is really important and to help with this I offer an initial 30 minute appointment free of charge. This will give us the opportunity to meet and for you to experience how I work and gauge whether you would feel comfortable working with me.
Whether you would prefer to work face-to-face, online or on the telephone, being with someone who will listen and hear you without judgement can be therapy in its self.
Making the decision to see a counsellor is a big step to take - but it can be a positive one. For change to happen, something needs to change. Please read on to find out more about how I could help you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Counselling offers the opportunity to explore the issues that are affecting you in a safe, confidential space, without fear of judgement. I believe that we are our own experts, as a Counsellor I am not here to tell you what you should do, rather help you explore where you may be struggling or stuck and help you unlock the solution to a happier, more balanced life.
Individual appointments are for 60 minutes and couples appointments are for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I would suggest that initially a regular weekly appointment be made. This is something we can discuss further during the initial appointment.

Couples: £85 per 1 1/4 hour appointment
Payments on the day either by BACS or cash
