Sally Baker

As a social worker in private practice, Sally offers counselling that is empathic, short term, growth centred and solution-focused.

Sally counsels individuals, couples and families and uses BWRT (Brain Working Recursive Therapy) and EMI (eye movement integration) which are immensely powerful styles of working, based on neuro-science. These therapies have been found highly effective in reducing the effects of trauma and loss.

Testimonials

“Sally has been more of a fairy godmother to me than a therapist. Her warmth and authenticity has allowed me to discover myself as a mother and to heal. Her incredible insight and practical advice has been so empowering. Seeing Sally is more than just talking and aimlessly going around in circles, it’s about healing and creating oneself one step at a time.” ~ Client

Sally have walked a journey with me from preparing me for birth with trauma related to now. Sally have been really helpful and encouraging. She is soft spoken and gentle. I would recommend Sally to anyone who needs a gentle, soft spoken and a heart for people. My journey to recovery from trauma was at ease with Sally. ~ Client

I was blessed to know Sally through the birthing community and when I lost my daughter she was the person I turned to for the counselling I believed I needed. She really helped me get through those very dark days and then when she believed the time was right, she offered me a session of BWRT. When I look back now I can see a profound difference in the way I handled my grief before and after that session! I truly believe it helped me to learn to live more fully everyday and I am now able to view her passing in a very different light. ~ Mother
