Ms Sarah Grunwell
Counseling Psychologist
“BACP-trained counsellor (MSc) offering integrative, client-focused online therapy for adults. I work at a university in Budapest and have supported clients across the UK, Greece & Hungary. Warm, culturally aware, and experienced.”
About Me
Approach
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from multiple therapeutic models to meet your unique needs. Primarily, I work within humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural frameworks. This allows us to explore both present challenges and deeper patterns shaped by your past. I believe therapy should be collaborative, respectful, and adaptable - offering a safe space for reflection, growth, and emotional insight at your own pace.
Services
I support adults facing anxiety, low self-worth, relationship struggles, identity questions, and major life transitions - including those adjusting to life abroad. I also have experience working with survivors of sexual violence and trauma, offering sensitive, grounded care.
Sessions are collaborative and adapted to your unique needs, drawing from integrative methods including CBT and psychodynamic therapy. I offer a confidential, supportive space where you can feel heard and begin to make sense of what you're going through
