About Sara

Sara Monahan is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom and listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. Sara aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make small, practical changes.

Sara focuses on trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and confidence, and coping with major life changes.

Background and approach

She also helps people manage compassion fatigue and the challenges that come with ADHD. Sessions tend to centre on the person in front of her and their immediate goals rather than labels or diagnostic jargon. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

Sara listens, asks helpful questions, and works with each person to find approaches that suit their life. She treats clients as the experts in their own experience and offers support to build on existing strengths. People come to Sara for help with attachment issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and finding life purpose.

She also supports those dealing with narcissism in their relationships, social anxiety, and women's issues. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s needs. If someone decides to begin, Sara guides them through first steps and helps set short-term aims.

Her approach is focused on building resilience and clearer decision-making over time. Many people find this steady, person-centred way easier to follow when they are feeling overwhelmed.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Many people who come to Sara benefit from evidence-based techniques that help make sense of painful experiences and build coping skills. For trauma-related work she uses approaches that help people process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day distress, focusing on present triggers and practical ways to manage them. For issues like low self-esteem and social anxiety she uses structured, task-based methods that break problems into small steps and practise different responses in safe ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sara works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. She will explain options, try things out, and adjust the plan as progress is made so the therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility that helps people fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quieter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can be easier for short updates or for people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to maintain momentum between sessions.
