Meet Sarah
Sarah Bargiela
Clinical Psychologist
Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Masters in Child Development
Online & In-person
I’m Sarah, a clinical psychologist offering therapy in English, with a special interest in neurodiversity and immigration. I’ve worked therapeutically with children, teenagers and adults, with a wide range of lived experiences and cultural backgrounds. I moved to Denmark from the UK five years ago and completed my Clinical Doctorate at University College London in 2015.
I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to slow down, reflect, and openly explore what you are experiencing in the present moment. Whether that might be managing a life transition, understanding your neurotype or getting support with loss, anxiety, stress, shame, anger, sadness, or overwhelm.
I will often explore how early relationships may influence how we have learnt to respond to the here and now. I am also curious about how the narratives we tell about ourselves, and narratives others tell about us, may influence how we make sense of our experiences. Together with you, we can consider which responses or narratives may be more or less helpful in moving you towards a more balanced way of being. I aim to support you in finding ways to notice, describe, feel, and respond to situations, with a view to providing you with tools to help you grow and thrive beyond the therapy hour.
Sarah’s Approach
I’m a humanistic and client-centered therapist, where acceptance, genuineness and empathy are the core principles of a therapeutic relationship. This is paired with an existential approach - exploring themes of meaning, identity, and choice in the face of life’s uncertainties. Additionally, I integrate the elements of:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) - exploring your emotional states as they arise and allowing for deeper understanding, acceptance and healing
Gestalt Therapy - an experimental approach focusing on the here and now, and recognizing an individual as a whole
Attachment Theory - looking at how you relate to yourself and to the world around you, focusing on our client-therapist relationship and finding healing in that
Neuroaffective Relational Model (NARM) - integrating the cognitive part, the emotional part and the body into this holistic method, working with the effects of complex and developmental trauma
Body-oriented psychotherapy and nervous system regulation - incorporating the body and NS into the talk therapy space by offering gentle somatic practices
Mindfulness - for example, use of breath, grounding exercises to help you stay present
What Can We Address
Therapy is always tailored to your individual needs. Here are some examples of the challenges I work with:
Struggles of living abroad - navigating integration, transition, cultural norms, and feelings of ‘not belonging’ in new environments.
Depression & anxiety - understanding the emotional struggles and learning how to build self-trust and find relief in everyday life.
Relationships with others and yourself - finding a way to create more meaningful and deeper connections with others and yourself.
Feeling ‘stuck’ & repeating patterns - creating awareness and beginning to engage in new and improved dynamics.
Stress & burnout - learning how to manage overwhelm and uncertainty, and building healthier ways to thrive as an individual.
Finding your purpose - exploring your identity, purpose and meaning towards a more authentic and aligned life.
