Sara is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.
How Sara works
Sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed agenda, so the client sets the pace and focus. Her practice draws on client-centred ideas and mindfulness techniques. That means listening closely, reflecting what a person says, and offering gentle ways to notice thoughts and feelings.
People often work on understanding attachment or abandonment wounds, body image concerns, codependency and communication problems. Sara describes therapy as a partnership. She will help people name what they want to change and try small, practical steps between sessions.
This can include breathing and grounding exercises, conversational rehearsal for difficult talks, or simple actions to reduce daily stress. Her manner is patient and steady, accepting that change can feel slow and uncertain. Sara encourages people to try therapy even when they feel unsure, and she supports them through the awkward quiet moments that can lead to breakthroughs.

How client-centred work and mindfulness adapt to online therapy
Sara uses client-centred methods that put the person in charge of the session. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the topics the client brings. It helps when people need space to name their priorities and take things at their own pace.Mindfulness therapy in her work involves simple practices for noticing thoughts and bodily sensations. These exercises are practical and brief, useful for stress, anxiety, grief and rumination. Clients learn short breathing and grounding techniques that they can use between sessions to manage difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and is decided together. Sara will explore a person’s goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit their needs. The relationship and method can be adjusted as progress is made, so the work remains collaborative.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for when visual contact is not needed. Live chat or text works well for short check-ins, journalling-style reflections or people who prefer typing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
