Hello
Sarah (SJ) Bolton-Locke
​Dip.Couns, MBACP
Welcome, I am a qualified Counsellor, therapeutically supporting adults, families, and children's mental health and wellbeing in Gloucestershire.
A Space 2 Be is a private practice in Cheltenham, and is based at Essential Space in the heart of Cheltenham town centre. I also offer both home and off-site visits, this includes local schools and organisations.
I aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment to either seek support in counselling, mindfulness, creative expression, therapeutic training, mental health support. Additionally, I have further training and experience in working with GSRD therapy clients of diverse genders, sexualities, identities, relationships, lifestyles & practices, offering non-judgemental, and affirming support.
In present times, I am supporting people to manage their stress and anxiety, coping with the effects of the global pandemic, Covid 19, and am seeing people both face to face and in online sessions.
I am a co-director for Creative Change Makers, which is a community interest business, offering therapeutic and practical support and mental health courses that encourage creative wellness for residents of Gloucestershire.

What people say
Amanda, School Support
Sarah brings calm energy that has made the children feel very relaxed, she has really supported a family through a traumatic time and helped the children come to terms with the changes
Lottie, Adult Counselling
I have been working with Sarah for just under a year, she has supported me to take steps that I didn't think were possible, my confidence has really grown in this time
Tim, LGBTQ Counselling
I needed someone to talk to that wouldn't judge me. Sarah gave me a space to express how I fell about my gender and this has helped me make sense of my feelings and just be me
