About Sara
Sara Monahan is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP registration and four years of experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD and the stresses that come with life changes. Sara writes simply and directly; she aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward.
Sara believes people know their own stories best and brings a supportive presence to each session.
Background and approach
She focuses on identifying strengths that can be used to meet difficult moments. Her approach is collaborative and practical, helping people try small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions are paced to suit the individual.
Sara offers space to talk through painful memories, to name feelings like guilt and shame, and to find steps towards greater self-love. She also helps people feeling isolated or stuck work out ways to reconnect and build purpose. Her work addresses social anxiety, attachment worries, and difficulties linked to narcissism in others.
Sara gives time to life transitions too - such as career shifts, relationship endings, or major changes that leave someone unsure where to begin. Sara aims to empower rather than direct. Conversations with her tend to be practical and down-to-earth.
She helps people notice small gains and plans realistic next steps for lasting change.

Focus areas and approaches
What Sara works with
Everything Sara lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sara collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful for their goals and situation. Together they try methods and adjust them as needed so the work fits the person's needs and pace.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this way of working. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when it helps, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and busy days while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
