Sara Monahan

Sara Monahan works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has four years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She holds BACP membership, which is listed as her credential. Sara aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable for anyone who reaches out. Sara focuses on practical, person-centred conversations. She helps people talk through trauma and abuse, cope with major life changes, and rebuild self-esteem and confidence. She also supports those experiencing compassion fatigue and the particular challenges that come with ADHD. Her style is straightforward and encouraging. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life, and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are about noticing what works, testing small changes, and finding ways to make life feel steadier. Sara also pays attention to underlying patterns such as attachment issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Narcissism is listed among areas she can address when it is relevant to a person’s story. People who prefer calm, respectful conversations and a pace set by their needs may find her approach helpful. She aims to support and empower people as they explore practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online support

Sara describes her work in plain, evidence-based ways that focus on practical change and building strengths. Person-centred work means conversations that follow the client's priorities, helping them make sense of their experience and choose steps that feel possible. This approach is useful for people who want to focus on confidence, self-worth and coping with life transitions. When trauma or compassion fatigue are in focus, techniques that emphasise safety, pacing and grounding can be helpful. These techniques help people notice reactions in the body and develop manageable ways to reduce overwhelm. They suit those who need steadier, clearer tools to get through day-to-day life. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try methods that feel helpful and adjust as progress is made. The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also let people meet a therapist from their own region without changing their routine.
