About Sarjan
I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with experience in specialist areas including pain management, perinatal mental health and psychotherapy services. My training has given me knowledge of a range of therapeutic models and how to adapt them to the needs of the individual.
I have a Diploma in Compassion Focused Therapy and foundation training in Group Analysis. I also offer ongoing psychodynamically informed therapy, which involves exploring how earlier experiences and relationships may shape how we feel, relate and respond in the present.
I have completed national Perinatal Clinical Psychology training and have a particular interest in supporting parents with babies.
My approach is for adults who feel ready to explore the deeper roots of their difficulties and move towards a more connected, fulfilling life. I am interested in understanding what sits underneath the symptoms someone brings to therapy, including feelings and experiences that may have been difficult to acknowledge or make space for.
Together, we can explore your early experiences and how these have influenced the way you see yourself, other people and the world. Rooted in compassion, my work gives attention to your emotional world, alongside the cultural and spiritual layers that shape your experiences.
In the safety of our therapeutic relationship, we can explore these experiences at your pace and create space for discovery. My hope is that you experience therapy as safe, warm, reflective and grounded in compassion.
This way of working offers room for reflection and exploration, with less emphasis on a structured programme or being told what to do. It may suit you if you want to understand your feelings and patterns more deeply.
Over time, our work may help you manage difficulties with greater ease and develop a richer emotional understanding that extends into relationships, parenting and work. This may involve learning to trust your own mind, recognise supportive relationships and develop more compassionate ways of relating to yourself.
Guiding quote
“True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”
Why this quote matters to Sarjan
For Sarjan, therapy offers a discovery of yourself: the parts that are wise, courageous and committed, as well as those that may be critical, angry or sad. Giving these parts space creates an opportunity to understand yourself and develop a sense of belonging that allows you to be who you are.
