Instructors

Sarah Haskett

I’m a specialist mental health nurse and cognitive behavioural therapist. I deliver psychotherapy for a range of common mental health problems such as depression, low self-esteem, general anxiety, panic, health anxiety, social anxiety and obsessive compulsive issues. I’ve worked in mental health care for over 10years and been involved in numerous community projects in addition to my work in the NHS. I am a committee member of the Good Mental Health Cooperative, regularly involved in various projects and events to tackle stigma and aid understanding in mental ill health. I’m keen to develop innovative ways to build better understanding in our community and believe my personal creativity aids the professional support I offer. I have a background in acting and teaching youth theatre, and still perform at times holding a registration with Equity Arts Federation. I love to play the West & North African hand drums and Samba Reggae hand drum, and have always been in love with dance of all forms throughout my life, but especially Middle Eastern dance.
