COUNSELLING IN BARCELONA, IBIZA AND ONLINE
Meet Sarah
Counsellor and psychotherapist
I’m Sarah Drewer, and I offer counselling and psychotherapy in Barcelona, Ibiza, and online.
​
I believe we all have the capacity for growth and change — given the right environment. Creating that environment often begins with finding a therapist you connect with and feel safe around.
​
As unique and complex beings, it makes sense that there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. Naturally, different people need different things at different times.
​
I practice Pluralistic Therapy, an integrative and collaborative approach that allows us to draw on a range of modalities I’m trained in — including Person-Centred, Existential, Emotion-Focused, Creative Arts, Transactional Analysis, and Gestalt. Together, we’ll tailor our work to suit you, meeting you where you are.
​
The dynamic process of therapy works best when it’s co-created — a genuine collaboration between therapist and client. In an atmosphere of warmth, open-mindedness, and acceptance, new insights can emerge. My aim is to support you to become an active participant in your own therapeutic journey, developing awareness and understanding that lead to meaningful, lasting change.
​
I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to its Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I’m also a member of the Association for Person-Centred Creative Arts (APCCA).
​
I hold a BSc (Hons) and a Diploma in Advanced Pluralistic Person-Centred Counselling from the Metanoia Institutein London — a rigorous four-year in-person training — and a Certificate in Person-Centred Creative Arts Therapy.
​
Born and raised in the UK, I’ve spent the past eleven years living with my family in the mountains of northern Ibiza. Recently, I’ve expanded my practice to Barcelona, where I’m enjoying the balance between island calm and city energy.
​
I continue to work regularly in Ibiza (maintaining a clinic there once a month) while establishing a base in Barcelona. My plan is to open an office in the city in early 2026.
​
For ethical and safe practice, I attend regular supervision and ongoing professional development.
Who I work with
“Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.” – Carl Jung
​
Sometimes words just don’t feel like enough to express what we’re going through. Our experiences can be so deep or tangled that it’s hard to make sense of them with our rational minds. That’s where creativity can help.
​
Using tools like images, sand trays, or other creative mediums, we can tap into the intuitive, emotional side of the brain, offering a safe and powerful way to explore feelings and experiences that may be hard to put into words.
​
You don’t need to think of yourself as “creative” to benefit from this kind of work—it’s about self-expression, not artistic ability. Together, we’ll use these tools to help unlock insights, process emotions, and find healing in ways that feel natural and meaningful for you.​​
Being in relationship
You may be facing challenges or noticing patterns in your relationships—whether with a partner, ex, parent, child, friend, or even within yourself. Exploring these dynamics in a calm, supportive environment, away from the emotional intensity of daily life, can bring clarity and awareness.
Together, we can uncover the blocks or unhelpful behaviours that may be holding you back, helping you to better understand yourself and your relationships. This insight creates the space for growth, change, and healthier connections.
Trauma
Some experiences from our past—particularly childhood—can stay with us, quietly shaping how we feel, think, and respond to life. In our work together, we’ll create a safe and supportive space to explore these moments, understand their impact, and see how they show up in your present life.
This isn’t about dwelling on the past but about gaining insight and perspective. By understanding these patterns, you can begin to loosen their grip and find ways to move forward with more freedom and self-awareness.
Depression, anxiety,
low mood, loss of interest.
Feeling any of these for prolonged periods of time can be incredibly difficult and isolating. We can explore what might be causing you to feel this way and find ways to manage depression or gain relief from anxiety or panic.
Emotion Focus
Getting to know how to accept, express, regulate and transform emotions can
be life changing. Coming to see your emotions as powerful tools to be
embraced rather than avoided or controlled opens up a new capacity for self-healing.
​
This is especially important when
working with OCD, intrusive
and obsessional thoughts..
Life brings
Loss, grief, bereavement, illness, diagnosis, disability, divorce, separation.
Finding space, support and ways to process and accept life on life's terms is critical in being able to move on and grow.
Maybe you’re noticing an unhealthy relationship to substances, alcohol, medication, food, shopping, sex, relationships, porn, exercise or something else. I have worked in the field of addiction for over 12 years and am a counsellor at the island’s residential rehab clinic, Ibiza Calm.
Addiction is often referred to as a ‘family disease’ and I work with family members and loved ones whose lives are also impacted by addiction.
