About Sara
Sara Roberts helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression, grief and parenting strain. She uses a person-centred way of working that lets the client lead sessions rather than the counsellor directing the agenda. Sara is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of professional experience.
Sara works at a steady, simple pace and accepts that silence can be part of the process. She listens without rushing and gives clients space to find words for difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, whether that is coping with change, managing anger, or rebuilding trust after difficult events.
Her practice draws on client-centred principles alongside mindfulness techniques. Mindfulness is used to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting pulled into them. This can be useful for anxiety, stress and for learning ways to calm a busy mind.
Sara also supports people dealing with family problems, communication breakdown, codependency and commitment worries. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiving stress, and the effects of domestic violence and separation, helping clients name and understand these patterns.
Clients come to Sara for short-term focus work and longer-term exploration. She combines listening with practical steps people can try between sessions. To begin, people follow a simple sign-up and matching process and then arrange their first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the counsellor directing the session. The counsellor follows what the client brings, listens closely and reflects back what is heard to help clarify feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for exploring relationship issues, self esteem and grief.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. These techniques can help with stress, anxiety and managing emotional reactions during strong moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss what feels helpful, adapt methods, and agree goals based on the client's needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counselling fits into a busy week and can make it easier to attend from work breaks or other commitments. Online sessions may also allow shorter check-ins and more flexible scheduling to help therapy fit daily life.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
