About Sara Menzel

Sara believes that clients are ultimately the authors of their own lives and carry with them an inherent wisdom. However, life is not always kind and we can experience difficult situations or hardships such as conflictual or distant relationships, grief and loss, trauma, stressful families or workplaces.

Sometimes we are not able to understand or manage the fallout from these situations. Turning to a counsellor can be helpful, as well as validating and comforting.

Testimonials

Sara offered my husband and I a safe place to work on our relationship. She skillfully directed our conversations with each other and taught us how to engage in a similar way at home. We went from fighting almost on a daily basis to being more conscious and loving with each other. We have suggested Sara to many of our friends who were looking to improve their communication.

Sara is an very experienced, emphatic and skilled counsellor and it has been my privilege to be in her care. I appreciated the wisdom, support and safety that she so effortlessly and calmly offered in our meetings. I felt truly and deeply seen and heard by her.

Thank you so very much Sara. I am grateful that I met you and have the chance to do my healing with you. As we begin, I plan to make a strong effort to let go of work related difficulties and concentrate on receiving lots of love.... I need it... my gas tank is empty. Thanks again for making a big difference in my life.

PY, Burnaby

Thank you for your help in my career trouble and in life. I have accepted a new job and begin this week. I feel much better – recharged and refreshed_ and would not be feeling this way without your help. Thank you again.

LM, N. Vancouver

Sara's skill helped us recover from my affair. Although I was the "wrong" one in our marriage, I never felt judged by her. My wife and I are now back on track.

NB, Richmond

Thank you for all your support and the good ideas and wisdom that you helped me identify in myself. You gave me the courage to go forth and make the changes I needed to make.

NA, Vancouver

Sara is excellent and honed into my situation quickly and accurately. I wanted to 'work' on my coping skills at work. Sara was particularly helpful and in a short period of time assessed, and began with treatment/coping strategies/understanding my circumstances. Bottom line, Sara is an expert who is skilled in time efficiency/effectiveness and a high level of critical thinking.

JK, Vancouver

Thank you very much. We really appreciate your support and honesty. My husband was impressed. He can be a tough one to impress but you managed to do just that. We continue to work on our relationship and keep your "voice" nearby as we try to chose the right responses when various situations occur. Thanks again for your continued guidance and words of wisdom.

LB, Vancouver

Sara is very warm and empathetic and I felt very comfortable with her and trusted her very much. I believed she was there to help and never to judge. I would recommend Sara’s services to anyone who needs them.
