Welcome to Safe Harbour Counselling

What is Somatic Experiencing™ Counselling?
As a Somatic Experiencing™ Practitioner, Sarah uses a body-centered counselling therapy approach that helps individuals process trauma and stress. By focusing on physical sensations, clients can release pent-up emotions and experiences from their bodies. In addition, understanding our physical sensations, emotions, and the meanings we attach to them provides insight to create change. Sarah will guide you through this process, ensuring you feel safe and understood.
Benefits of Working with a NARM™ Therapist
NARM, or NeuroAffective Relational Model, is an effective therapeutic approach that addresses the impact of trauma on relationships and emotional regulation. As a qualified NARM™ therapist, the focus is on:
Understanding the Root of Your Challenges: Helping you explore the underlying survival patterns stemming from past experiences and how they impact your present relationship dilemmas.
Building Resilience & Compassion: Through tailored strategies, Sarah collaborates with you, so you can enhance your emotional resilience and create a more self-compassion.
Creating Healthy Relationships: Our sessions foster awareness and connection, improving your interpersonal relationships.

“Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourself. We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we think we are worth.” — Iyanla Vanzant
Going through the struggle of life can become an insurmountable wall that paralyzes us.
Learning tools of how to move through your obstacles differently opens doors to peace, happiness and freedom.
I can teach you these skills.
Safe Harbour Counselling is located on the unceded, stolen lands of the Sylix people of the Okanagan Nation. I am located in Summerland, and the closest nation to me is the SNPINK’TN (Penticton) Indian Band. I am grateful for these lands and the beauty, shelter, and nourishment they provide. I honor the long history and traditions of the Indigenous peoples who continue to be the stewards of this land.
My ancestors come from England and Ireland. I recognize that England was the colonial power that built this country on a foundation of genocide against Indigenous peoples. I am committed to the continuous unlearning of the colonialist principles I have been raised with. At this time in my life, I hold many unearned privileges. My intersectionality includes being a white settler, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied, financially stable, educated, and female.
