Online support
She is trauma informed and offers steady, paced support for those affected by abuse or traumatic events. Being trauma informed means attending to how distress affects the body and mind, and working at a pace that feels manageable for the person. This suits people dealing with flashbacks, overwhelm or difficulty trusting others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best for their goals and comfort level. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what the client needs now and as things change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter experience is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while still getting regular support.
