Sara has 15 years of experience working with people across a wide range of concerns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Her practice is rooted in person‑centred thinking and mindfulness, and she keeps the focus on what matters to each individual. Her sessions aim to give people space to say what they think and feel without judgement. Sara trusts the client to lead the conversation and pays attention to the quieter moments when important material often appears.

She explains the process clearly so people know what to expect in the room. Mindfulness tools are offered in straightforward ways that fit everyday life. Those techniques can help with anxiety, stress and recurring negative thoughts.

The emphasis is on small, practical steps rather than complex exercises. Sara also pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and communication problems, codependency, commitment worries and issues that follow divorce or separation. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, abandonment and the legacy of domestic violence.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Sara aims to help people feel more able to cope, make decisions and find the next steps towards a more manageable life.

How client‑centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Sara uses client‑centred work which puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That means the client leads what they want to talk about and the counsellor follows, offering reflection and gentle direction. This approach helps when people need space to make sense of strong emotions or complicated choices.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy which teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without judgement. Mindfulness exercises are given in short, practical forms that can reduce the grab of anxious thinking and help with stress, low mood and compulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Sara works collaboratively to agree what feels most useful, testing short techniques and adjusting the focus as needs and goals become clearer. The aim is practical change rather than one fixed method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face to face when that helps. Phone sessions suit those with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text‑based messaging provide shorter check‑ins or a way to continue between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
