Sara Monahan, BACP

Sara Monahan is a United Kingdom based therapist with 4 years of professional experience who supports people navigating trauma, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, compassion fatigue and related concerns. She works with clients on motivation, confidence, ADHD-related challenges and the emotional effects of abuse, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each individual.

Sara believes that each person is the expert on their own life and carries strengths that can be mobilised to overcome difficult situations. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that honours the client’s perspective while offering support, structure and practical tools to move toward a more fulfilling life. Seeking help is an act of courage, and she aims to empower clients as they take the first steps toward change.

Sara holds BACP credentials - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her connection to recognised professional standards in the UK. Her practice emphasises empathy, curiosity and steady encouragement to help clients build resilience and greater self-compassion.

Evidence-Based Care Meets Online Accessibility

Many clients benefit from trauma-informed approaches that prioritise safety, stabilization and understanding of how past harm can shape current thoughts, emotions and behaviours. These methods help people process difficult memories and reduce the ways trauma shows up in daily life.

Sara also uses skills-based interventions that focus on building practical tools for self-esteem, attention and coping during life changes. These techniques teach concrete strategies for managing overwhelm, improving motivation and strengthening emotional regulation, which can be useful for ADHD, social anxiety and low self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sara works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or other commitments and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that suit them. Licensed professionals can deliver effective support through these formats, helping clients maintain continuity of care while adapting to their lives.
