Hamilton Sargent

My work is person-centred, which means we make space for you - your experience, your pace, your priorities. I believe you already have the wisdom and strength within you, and therapy can help reconnect you with that. I won’t analyse, fix or direct you. Instead, I offer presence, empathy and respectful curiosity as we explore whatever matters most to you. My approach is inclusive and trauma-aware, with a deep understanding of how shame, stress and systemic oppression can affect how we feel in the world and in our bodies. I work well with clients who feel tender, burnt out, uncertain or like they’re carrying too much. You'll have a space to talk things through, laugh, cry, use metaphor or gentle creativity - whatever supports your process. We'll go at your pace and there'll be no expectations. I offer therapy that is collaborative, affirming and real. My aim is to support you in feeling more at home in yourself and more connected in your life.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in a range of fast-paced and high-pressure environments - including the arts, education, corporate and academic sectors. I know what it’s like to strive, to mask, and to hold everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed inside. I’m also LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent, and these lived experiences shape the compassionate, inclusive and non-pathologising space I aim to offer. I’ve worked therapeutically in private practice and organisations for nearly 10 years. I’ve completed a BA (Hons) and Clinical Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, and hold additional certifications in creative and online therapy. I also train therapists and write in the field of counselling and psychotherapy. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy nature, musicals, and time with my dog. I aim to bring openness, warmth and grounded presence into my work, and I care deeply about creating therapy spaces that are inclusive and affirming for all.
