About Sara

Sara Roberts supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship strain. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, career uncertainty and coping with life changes. Her approach includes coaching for compassion fatigue and guidance around communication and boundary concerns.

Sara uses a client-centred style that puts the person’s priorities first. She creates space for people to speak, and for quiet moments that can help what matters most to emerge.

Background and approach

Sessions are paced to each person rather than following a set script. Her practice also draws on mindfulness methods to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them. Mindfulness tools are used practically - for managing stress, reducing reactivity, and improving focus.

With 15 years of experience, Sara works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. That experience includes supporting people through difficult life changes such as separation, caregiving strain and loss. People come to her for help with specific problems like codependency, commitment worries, or body image concerns.

She also supports those facing issues linked to abandonment, attachment, control, guilt and shame. Sara aims for a straightforward, non-judgemental manner. She helps people set goals, try small changes between sessions, and build coping skills that fit everyday life.

Taking the first step is recognised as difficult, and she offers steady practical support throughout the process.

Sessions & fees

Client-centred and mindful support online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the therapist. It means the client guides the topics and pace of sessions while the counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help clarify thoughts and feelings. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to explore what matters most to them.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting automatically. It can help with stress, anxiety, emotional flashbacks after trauma and everyday overwhelm by building steady attention and calmer responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using mindful exercises one week and a client-led conversation the next.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging suits brief updates, reflective notes between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
