About Sara
Sara Monahan is a UK-based counsellor with BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience. She keeps things straightforward and focuses on practical support for people facing difficult moments. Sara believes clients know their own stories and brings a steady, encouraging presence to sessions.
She commonly helps people dealing with trauma and abuse and those whose self-esteem and confidence have been knocked. She also supports clients through life changes and the exhaustion that comes from caring roles, often called compassion fatigue.
How Sara works
Sara works with concerns linked to ADHD and social anxiety as well. Her approach puts the client's priorities first. Conversations look at strengths and small, realistic steps that build confidence.
Sessions aim to feel honest and manageable rather than overwhelming. Sara also pays attention to issues like attachment patterns, guilt and shame, isolation and a search for life purpose. She offers space to talk about narcissism, self-love and women's issues when these feel relevant to a client's story.
Work with Sara happens in English and is offered across video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and are set through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online access
Two evidence-based approaches commonly used in similar work are trauma-informed care and strengths-based counselling. Trauma-informed care focuses on recognising how past harm affects the present and aims to create sessions that reduce re-triggering while helping a person regain control and stability. Strengths-based counselling looks for existing skills and resources a person already has and uses them to build confidence and tackle current problems.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as the work unfolds, keeping the focus on practical steps and what the client finds most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility that suits many lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and body language matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have shorter, more frequent exchanges or to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family and daily commitments.
