About Sara
BACP. 15 years' experience. Sara Roberts works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, anger, career change, compassion fatigue and other life transitions.
Sara uses a person-centred approach and mindfulness in her counselling. She puts the client at the centre of sessions and follows what matters most to them. That means the client leads the topics and pace, while the counsellor listens, reflects and offers support.
Sessions can include periods of silence and reflection. Sara explains that these quiet moments often help people notice things they have been avoiding. She invites people to name feelings and memories when they are ready and to notice how those things show up in daily life.
Mindfulness is used alongside person-centred work to help people become aware of thoughts and bodily sensations. This can suit people who want practical ways to calm anxiety, reduce stress or manage strong emotions in the moment.
Sara has worked in the United Kingdom for 15 years. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Her practice is conversational and straightforward, aiming to make talking about difficult things easier to begin.

How her approaches are used in online counselling
Sara uses Client-Centred Therapy, which places the client in charge of what is discussed and at what pace. The counsellor listens, reflects back what is heard and follows the client’s priorities rather than imposing a plan. This approach can help when someone needs space to talk through relationship issues, grief or feelings of emptiness.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations without judgement. Mindfulness exercises can be practical tools for managing anxiety, stress and strong emotions during day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client will decide together which methods feel most useful based on the client’s goals and preferences. That means trying things, noticing what helps, and adjusting as needed in collaboration.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work, family commitments or travel because it removes commuting time. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and options to use audio rather than video when that suits the person better.
