Welcome to Ray of Light Therapeutic Services Counseling

 

Message from the Founder and Therapeutic Service Director

I am a trauma-informed therapist specialising in creative and systemic approaches to mental health. Through Ray of Light Therapeutic Services, I offer counselling for children, young people, and parents—alongside group therapy, staff training, and clinical supervision for educators and safeguarding professionals.

My work is rooted in empathy, creativity, and relational care, with flexible support delivered in schools, online, or in the community. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or seeking professional reflection, I aim to hold space that’s emotionally safe and deeply collaborative.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy in Professional Practice and a Level 6 Certificate in Clinical Supervision (Including Online and Telephone Working), with additional training in telephone counselling. My approach integrates play, creative arts, and trauma-informed principles with systemic awareness, ensuring a supportive experience tailored to each client’s unique context.

— Sara McGuirk
