Sarah Benamer
I offer one to one supervision for therapists and counsellors and professionals in related fields. I am an approved UKCP supervisor.
My specific areas of interest are in trauma, disrupted attachments, the body, chronic illness and pain. The interface of mind and body are shaped by our early relationships and environment, and this in turn determines our sense of belonging and attachment; how we feel in the world, in our bodies, in relation to others. I write, speak publicly, and offer training and teaching around this subject area of attachment and the body in clinical practice.
