About Sara
Sara Deal works from a person-centred approach to help people make changes that matter to them. She is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience, and she aims to build a respectful, down-to-earth relationship with each person she meets. Sara keeps sessions focused on what you want to achieve and adapts her way of working to fit your needs.
Sara helps people dealing with stress and anxiety and with low mood or depression.
How Sara works
She supports those facing relationship problems and family conflict, and she talks through issues around self-esteem and motivation. She also works with people affected by addiction, trauma and abuse, and those managing parenting pressures or major life changes. In sessions she uses the person-centred model, which means she listens closely and follows your lead.
Conversations are collaborative; the pace and direction come from what you bring. That makes space for practical steps you can try between sessions and for working through difficult feelings at a steady, manageable speed. Sara describes her style as warm, respectful and sensitive.
She aims to create a calm environment where people can be honest about their struggles. If you want a counsellor who prioritises your goals and adapts the work to you, she may be a good match. To begin, you choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How client-centred care works online
Sara practices client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person in front of her. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship or family concerns by creating space to talk and make sense of feelings in your own words.Person-centred work also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction or parenting stress by emphasising empathy and respect. The therapist follows the person’s lead, so conversations stay relevant to your goals and move at a comfortable pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sara will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you can decide how client-centred methods fit your situation. That collaboration helps shape the number of sessions and any practical steps you might try between meetings.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you keep visual contact, phone works well if you need a simpler setup, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
