Sarahanne Doherty
Abdominal-Sacral Masseuse in Glasgow

Hello! I'm Sarahanne, and I am in Advanced TA training as a Transactional Analyst in Psychotherapy, studying at Masters level. I am currently registered as a Trainee member with both UKCP and UKATA.

My background is in psychology, and I bring over 20 years of experience in caring professions across various settings. I have worked extensively with autistic individuals of all ages, those navigating mental health challenges, and those affected by Alzheimer's and dementia.

I am passionate about creating an inclusive, affirming space for all and especially keen to support individuals from the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities. I understand the unique challenges that can arise and aim to provide a safe, respectful, and understanding environment where every person feels heard and valued.

By nature, I am warm, empathetic, honest, and compassionate, with a deep commitment to helping others. Inspired by my own growth and healing, I am retraining as a psychotherapist in Transactional Analysis—an approach that has profoundly transformed my life. Now, I hope to help others navigate their own paths, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful change.

Approach to Abdominal Sacral Massage & How I Work

Counselling Vs Psychotherapy: What is the difference?

Counselling typically focuses on specific issues and is often short-term—think support through a life event or emotional difficulty. Psychotherapy goes deeper, exploring long-standing patterns, emotional struggles, and mental health conditions over a longer period. Both aim to support growth and healing, but psychotherapy is usually more in-depth.

What is Transactional Analysis (TA)?

?Transactional Analysis (TA) is a powerful, practical approach to understanding yourself and others. It explores how we communicate, why we react the way we do, and how past experiences shape our behaviour—so you can make positive, lasting change. This is the model of psychotherapy I use.
