Saralea Stewart, NCPS

Saralea Stewart is a counsellor with ten years' experience working with adults and young adults. She holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Person Centred Counselling and is registered with NCPS. She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

Saralea takes a direct and practical style in sessions. She listens first and helps people name what feels difficult. Together they set clear goals and try small, manageable steps between meetings. Sessions aim to be calm and straightforward rather than full of jargon.

Her background includes work in colleges, addiction services and community organisations. That variety has given experience with stress, grief, compassion fatigue and changes at work or home. She has also supported people facing issues such as codependency, body image and attachment concerns.

Saralea uses person-centred ideas, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques in counselling. She brings psycho-education and reflective exercises into conversation when useful. The emphasis is on building the client's own resources and practical coping skills.

People who come to her often want clear steps to manage worry, improve communication or recover after loss. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international clients who can work in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The counsellor follows the client's lead, offers empathy and helps people clarify what matters to them. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change; it uses straightforward conversation to find motivation and set personal goals. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical next steps and small experiments that can make everyday life easier.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Saralea will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques so sessions remain useful and relevant.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also enables continued work when people move or live in different places, provided they can take part in English.
