Sarah Sheard, M.A., (C) OACCPP

I’m a seasoned therapist and mediator — in private practice since 1995. Humour, creative play and metaphor are some of my preferred tools for encouraging change. I can quickly intuit the underlying issues and emotions contributing to your difficulty. I am direct but never a basher. My consulting room is airy and informal.
