Lived Experience Counselling

My name is Sarah Humble and I am an ACA registered, Lived Experience Counsellor. A lived experienced counsellor combines professional support with genuine understanding from someone who has personally faced and worked through many of life’s challenges. Many people value this because they feel genuinely understood and less alone in their experiences.

My approach to counselling is shaped not only by my professional experience, but also by my own personal journey through adversity, relationship betrayal, healing, and rebuilding life from the ground up.

As a mother and long-term carer for someone I love deeply, I understand the emotional weight and responsibility that can come with ongoing care and support. I understand the exhaustion many carers carry while still trying to hold everything together.

I also understand what it feels like to struggle, lose yourself for a period of time, and slowly rebuild a sense of safety, stability, and self-worth again. Because of this, I bring both compassion and honesty into the counselling space. I aim to create a space where people feel understood without judgement.

My style is warm, grounded, and practical. I provide genuine connection, active listening, and support people in finding strategies that work in real life.
