About Sara

Sara Monahan is a UK-based therapist accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings three years of professional experience supporting people through difficult transitions. She works with clients impacted by trauma and abuse, and with those seeking to rebuild motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her practice also addresses coping with life changes and compassion fatigue, helping clients manage emotional exhaustion that can come from caring roles.

She works from a strengths-oriented perspective, holding the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already has resources to draw on. Sara emphasizes the courage it takes to seek change and approaches therapy as a partnership that supports and empowers clients as they take those first steps toward a more fulfilling life. She aims to create a collaborative space where goals are clear and progress is paced around individual needs and resilience.

Sara offers empathic guidance and practical strategies to help people navigate challenges and build greater confidence, purpose, and wellbeing over time.

Approaches and online support from Sara

Sara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical, research-informed methods to reduce distress and build coping skills. These approaches emphasize clear steps and tools clients can apply between sessions to address issues such as trauma responses, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also works from a strengths-based, client-centered framework that recognizes each person as the expert of their own life - this approach highlights personal resources and encourages collaborative goal-setting to foster confidence and resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sara treats this as a collaborative exploration. She will work with each client to identify goals, try appropriate techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. The aim is to tailor the work to individual needs, preferences, and life circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions by video or phone allow for face-to-face connection when preferred, while live chat and text-based messaging provide convenient alternatives for those with busy schedules or lower-energy days. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from a registered professional in ways that fit everyday life.
