Sarah Henry is a racial identity specialist, published author, counselling tutor, counsellor and consultant. Born in England to parents of Jamaican heritage, Sarah’s formative experience was a notable dynamic of complementary and clashing cultural norms. Elements of this disparity continued into adulthood and as she became more aware of her own racial identity and ‘not quite fitting in’. Her honest incorporation of these experience informs her empathic and non-judgemental approach to her work in supporting others to become more confident and inclusive in conversations and interactions about race.

Sarah has a published chapter in the 2023 book by Pete Sanders and Janet Tolan titled People Not Pathology: Freeing Therapy From The Medical Model. This chapter is focused on the overmedicalisation of Black people in mental healthcare settings and offers both information and support for therapists looking to work with Black clients.

She has presented and lectured nationally on race, racial identity and social justice and has worked with University of Roehampton, OnlinEvents, Counselling Tutor, PCCS Books, Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), Black and Asian Therapist Network (BAATN), A Disorder 4 Everyone, Medico Digital and others.
