Sara Roberts , BACP

Sara Roberts is a counsellor with 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse. She also helps with parenting strain, grief, career worries and low self‑esteem.

Sara aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. She creates space for people to speak at their own pace and follows what matters most to them. Sessions can feel quiet at times, and she explains that silence often leads to the most important breakthroughs.

Her way of working is rooted in client‑centred practice, which means the person sets the direction of each meeting. That approach puts emphasis on listening, empathy and responding to what the client brings rather than following a fixed agenda.

She also draws on mindfulness methods to help people manage stress and stay present during difficult emotions. Mindfulness tools in sessions can include simple grounding and breathing practices suited to everyday life.

Sara has supported people through loss, family problems, codependency, body image and commitment worries. Her experience includes helping those affected by domestic violence, abandonment and attachment issues. She offers a calm, patient space for people to work through painful experiences and build clearer ways forward.

How Sara uses client‑centred and mindfulness work online

Sara uses client‑centred therapy online by following the person’s lead in each session. This approach focuses on careful listening, asking open questions and giving space for reflection so the client sets the pace and topics. It is helpful for exploring relationship issues, attachment concerns and feelings of emptiness.

She also integrates mindfulness therapy to teach simple, practical skills for managing stress and anxiety. Mindfulness practices in sessions are short and easy to use between appointments, such as breathing exercises and attention anchors to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Sara will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helpful and adjusts the focus as work progresses.

Online formats allow flexible access to therapy. Video calls are useful for face‑to‑face conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit brief check‑ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
