About Saralea
Saralea Stewart is a counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Person Centred Counselling and is registered with the NCPS. Saralea works with a wide range of concerns and brings calm, direct support to each conversation.
She prefers simple, practical conversations that help people make small changes. Sessions often focus on what is happening now, what a person wants to change, and small steps to get there.
How Saralea works
Saralea uses person-centred principles to build a trusting conversation and draws on motivational techniques to help people find their own reasons for change. Her background includes work with students, young people, community services and addiction services. She has delivered counselling in colleges and in independent practice, and has experience supporting people connected to LGBTQIA+ communities.
That range has shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style. Clients can expect a focus on understanding feelings, identifying patterns, and experimenting with new behaviours. Practical issues Saralea often helps with include anxiety, low mood, relationship and family tensions, addiction, grief, and career worries.
She also works with concerns such as body image, attachment issues, and compassion fatigue. Saralea values ongoing learning and keeps her skills current through further training. She aims to make sessions accessible and responsive, helping people build clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day routines.

Online support options
How person-centred and goal-focused work translates online
Person-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work, emphasising listening, empathy and the individual's own goals. Online sessions using this approach focus on building a strong working relationship and helping people speak through what matters to them most.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. In online sessions this can help with addictions, health changes, career moves or any stuck decision by gently exploring values and motivation.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move things in a better direction. It is action-oriented and suits those who want concrete goals and short-term progress during video, phone or messaging work.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Saralea will discuss which methods might fit a person's needs, goals and preferences and adapt the mix as work progresses. The aim is to match style and pace so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is available or a headset is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers typing to talking. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life.
