About

About Sara

Sara Dallat is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, parenting stress and self-esteem struggles. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts conversations to each person’s needs.

Sara tailors sessions so people can set their own goals and move at a pace that feels right. She focuses on practical, usable ideas rather than jargon, and helps clients notice small changes that add up over time.

Background and approach

People can expect straightforward talk about what matters to them and steps they can try between meetings. Her background includes work across issues such as attachment, body image, post-traumatic stress and pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports people exploring sexuality, self-love and women’s health concerns.

That range helps her draw on relevant experience when a problem touches more than one area of life. Sara believes the first step is often the hardest, and she aims to make that step clearer and less daunting. She will work with each person to shape a plan that fits their situation and priorities.

Practical coping strategies and steady support are central to her way of working. If you want to start, be prepared to say what you hope to change and what has already helped. Sara will use that information to plan sessions that feel focused and manageable.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Sara draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people address practical problems and emotional pain. One common approach focuses on understanding how past relationships shape current attachment patterns; this helps people notice recurring relationship habits and try new ways of relating. Another approach looks at trauma-related responses and teaches manageable strategies to reduce overwhelming reactions, rebuild a sense of control, and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss different ways of working, and agree a plan together. Goals, preferences and what has helped in the past all guide which techniques are used and how progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from more convenient locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require video if that feels better for the client. Confirm the current session options with the therapist before booking so arrangements match your needs.
