More about Sara

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am an enthusiastic Transactional Analysis counsellor, experienced in working remotely and face-to-face. I am a member of UKATA, EATA, and a registered MBACP member.

I am genuinely interested in supporting and offering a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, whether you are going through a difficult time, struggling to find meaning or just needing to be heard. I am particularly interested, although not exclusively, in working with clients experiencing anxiety and depression, dissociation, self–harming patterns and trauma.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
