Welcome to Sarah Sheard's Website
“In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will be singing
About the dark times.
~Bertolt Brecht (translated by John Willet)
Sarah Sheard | Writer and Therapist

I have written and published three literary novels. I am currently drafting my fourth. By literary novels, I mean that they seek to tell their own stories in a way that can't readily be reduced to formula.

It was a natural jump for me from writing novels to working with people. Both writing and therapy explore the difficulties, behaviours and psychology of being alive.
