Sara Tookey
Hello, my name is Dr Sara Tookey. I am an approachable, compassionate and experienced psychologist and psychotherapist, with 13+ years experience working in the NHS, charities & private sectors in the UK, USA and India.
I founded True North Psychology, a cooperative group practice specialising in supporting divergent minds. We offer integrative psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and those in relationships of many kinds to support the mental health and wellbeing of people who sit across multiple intersections and identities, including LGBTQIA+, neurodivergence, multicultural, and/or those interested in non-ordinary states of consciousness. We also offer ADHD and AuDHD diagnostic assessments from a comprehensive and compassionate neuro-affirming perspective.
My Approach:In therapy, I apply a variety of psychological theories through individual or relationship therapy to help people make changes toward personal and relational growth, enabling them to live more meaningful and satisfied lives.
I provide confidential and non-judgmental psychological therapy, that draws upon the latest research, evidence-based and theory driven therapeutic methods to provide the best results for my clients.
I used the following therapeutic approaches in my work: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Existential Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, as well as Somatic, Psychodynamic, Attachment and Internal Family Systems (IFS) – informed approaches
My Specialisms Include:
- Existential crises and life transitions
- Cancer support & palliative care (including end-of-life care)
- Neurodiversity (including AuDHD)
- Grief & loss
- Integration following profound experiences with non-ordinary states of consciousness (including psychedelic integration)
- Gender, sexuality & relationship diversities (including LGBTQ+, polyamory, BDSM, kink)
Are You Ready for Change?:
Are you feeling stuck, lost, or unable to face life’s challenges? Are you facing relationship difficulties or wanting to deepen your personal or relational connection?
