About Sara
Sara Monahan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and LGBT concerns. Sara works from the view that clients are experts in their own stories and brings that perspective to sessions.
She offers a steady, pragmatic style. Conversations centre on current problems and practical steps. She looks for existing strengths a person can use to manage emotional pain and daily demands. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and act on.
Sara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process past hurt and rebuild confidence. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns related to attachment, guilt, shame and social anxiety. Work can include talking through traumatic memories, practising coping skills, and shaping new routines to support recovery.
Her approach also addresses more specific struggles such as compassion fatigue, life purpose, narcissistic dynamics, isolation and women’s issues. Sessions can explore how these themes show up in relationships and day-to-day life, and what practical changes might reduce distress.
People who prefer clear, collaborative conversations about problems tend to find this style useful. She asks questions, listens for strengths, and suggests focused exercises between sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Her practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding past hurt and building daily coping skills. One approach helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity by guiding structured conversations and practical exercises. Another approach targets self‑esteem and social anxiety by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and rehearsing alternative responses in real life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, symptoms and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time and adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use video or phone in ways that match their day-to-day routine rather than needing long commutes.
