Sara Roberts, BACP

Sara Roberts helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She supports people coping with trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career worries and major life changes. Sara also addresses anger, compassion fatigue and issues around attachment, boundaries and body image.

Sara works in a calm, patient way. She aims to make it easy to talk and to be heard. Sessions are led by the person seeking help so they decide what matters most. That approach can feel unfamiliar at first, and there may be quiet moments as people gather their thoughts.

With 15 years of experience, Sara has developed a steady, unhurried style. She listens for the threads that link current struggles to past experiences. People often find that, when given space to reflect, they can name problems that were hard to see before.

Sara uses Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on the person's own priorities. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and feelings with less reactivity.

She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients are not currently accepted.

To begin, someone selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred and Mindfulness Work Online

Sara uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach means the individual decides the pace and topics of each session while the therapist follows and reflects back what she hears. It suits people who want an empathetic listener and space to name what feels important.

Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside this approach to help people notice thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. Simple attention and breathing practices can make stress, anxiety and painful memories easier to tolerate and approach in small steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sara treats this as a collaborative process and helps clients choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text messaging makes it possible to share thoughts between sessions. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
