Dr Sarah Bishop - Birmingham

I had therapy with Sarah for over a year and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. Sarah was warm, wise, kind, empathetic, a wonderful listener and non-judgemental. I always felt seen and heard, understood and safe during our sessions. With Sarah’s help, I identified messages I was carrying about myself and gradually learned why and what effect this had on me. Sarah had a way of pin-pointing and naming things with regard to my experiences that was so succinct and insightful. I often ended a session feeling something had been revealed to me that I’d never quite understood or been able to articulate before. And I always left a session with Sarah feeling lighter. In this way, I gradually developed and matured as a person and my sense of self and my sense of my own needs became more robust. I could feel myself evolving into a happier, more confident and more self-aware person. I am so grateful for the help she gave me on my personal journey and I always felt like she genuinely cared about that journey too. I cannot recommend Sarah enough to anyone considering therapy.

I worked with Sarah last year after searching for a psychologist to help me navigate some big personal changes. She was a very genuine, helpful and skilled psychologist who was able to connect with me and she shared her thoughts and knowledge in a way that was extremely helpful. I never felt judged and it was a worthwhile investment in my personal journey. Thank you Sarah.

I worked with Sarah over an 18 month period to address a wide range of personal issues. Sarah helped me immensely during what was a very difficult stage of my life for which I will always be grateful. She genuinely cares about her patients, is insightful, compassionate and adopts a measured approach. Sarah helped me understand so much about myself and my thought process and behaviours and through our work together she helped me become a happier, healthier and much more balanced version of myself.

I would highly recommend Sarah. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better and I know I will use the skills and tools that she helped me develop for the rest of my future.

I had never before sought the support of a therapist, but when I decided it might help to talk to a professional I found several qualified psychologists in my local area. I was drawn to Sarah based on her qualifications and experience and then once I had my initial telephone consultation, I felt instinctively that Sarah was the right therapist for me.
Over the following months, I was able to gradually make sense of my conflicted thoughts, anxiety and total overwhelm thanks to Sarah's expertise and support. She has a warm, compassionate approach and is a great listener. She had the ability to help me pinpoint the language, behaviour patterns and historical experiences that were feeding into my thought processes and ultimately creating my issues. Our conversations always felt revelatory in some way and I learned so much more about myself. Even once I felt as though I'd overcome the initial issues I'd wanted support with, I decided to maintain monthly catch-ups with Sarah for some time afterwards because our sessions were always so insightful for me.
I would recommend anyone considering the support of a therapist to make contact with Sarah and I'm sure you won't look back.

I have been having therapy with Sarah for nearly one year and she has helped me tremendously. Sarah is a very compassionate and empathetic psychologist who creates a safe, non-judgemental space to explore any and all difficulties. During initial assessment, Sarah dedicated time to truly understanding my problems and condisered the previous therapy I had recieved. Throughout therapy, Sarah has kept my goals for therapy in mind while reactively responding to unexpected problems that arise in my life. She has helped me work on longer-term goals when I am feeling stable as supporting me to cope through times of crisis and change. I would recommend Sarah to anyone starting therapy for the first time as well as people who have experienced therapy in the past.

Making the decision to seek out help and find a therapist is an incredibly daunting task. However, I can safely say that my worries soon settled as soon as I met Sarah and decided to work with her - and I can’t recommend her enough. She is a very warm, genuine, compassionate, intelligent and kind person - all the qualities that you would want in a therapist to whom you are sharing your most personal thoughts with. I feel extremely lucky to have found her. She is an excellent listener and allows you to make sense of things and adopt different ways of looking at things. She has helped me so much and I can see now more than ever, just how much of a worthwhile investment this has been for me. If you are in a position where you can take on the commitment of therapy and have been deliberating for a while - my advise is just do it and try it - it is scary but helps you in ways you can’t even articulate! - and you will not find anyone more well suited and supportive as Dr Bishop. Thank you for everything.

I have had a difficult time this year from loosing all of my hair to alopecia. I have struggled to go back to work and have sought treatment through therapy with Sarah Bishop. Sarah has always made me feel like my emotions and reactions towards what has happened are valid. Sarah provides a safe environment for thoughts and feelings to be discussed when you least want to address them. This in my opinion is key in therapy as I have had previous bad experiences with therapists before. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who is struggling through life’s low points as she has definitely helped me through mine.
Thank you Dr Bishop

Finding a decent therapist is often difficult, as well as very, very personal. Through a search on PsychologyToday, I came across Sarah Bishop's practice and had an initial phone consultation with her. I knew there and then that she would be the right person to talk to. I subsequently made some appointments with Sarah, during which we discussed some issues I had been having in life. She did a wonderful job in unpacking these issues, and most importantly, why I felt the way I did. My life has improved immeasurably since I started seeing her, and when I do have issues, I now find them much easier to deal with than I did before. Thank you so much, Sarah - you have made much more of a difference than you will ever realise.
