About Sara
Sara Monahan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to support people who are facing trauma, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions.
Sara writes in a straightforward way and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. She believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions centre on listening, reflecting, and identifying small, manageable changes that build confidence. Sara encourages people to name what matters to them and to set realistic goals one step at a time. Her approach suits those who want a supportive, empowering space to work through guilt, shame, isolation or questions about life purpose.
She also works with social anxiety, attachment worries, narcissism-related concerns, and issues often described as women’s problems. Conversations aim to be clear, respectful, and paced to the individual. Sara values collaboration and helps people recognise patterns that hold them back.
Where needed she will focus on coping tools for day-to-day stress and on rebuilding motivation after setbacks. The overall aim is to help people feel more capable and more able to move forward. If you are considering starting, the usual first step is a short questionnaire to help match needs and schedule an initial session.
This lets Sara tailor the work to your priorities and circumstances.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people understand and change patterns that cause distress. One common approach emphasises talking through difficult memories and feelings in a steady, paced way to reduce their impact on daily life; this can help with trauma and abuse related symptoms. Another approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying out different ways of thinking and acting, which often supports self-esteem, social anxiety and motivation issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist treats it as a collaborative process. Together they will look at your goals, what has helped or not helped before, and how you prefer to work. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the methods fit your situation and needs.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or offer a quieter option when leaving home would be difficult. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, please confirm current session options before booking so you know which ways of connecting are available.
