Saralea Stewart, NCPS

Saralea Stewart is a counsellor with ten years of practice who works with adults and young adults. She holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Person Centred Counselling and is registered with NCPS. She has a background supporting people with anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, and problems linked to addiction and identity.

Saralea uses straightforward talking therapy to help people make sense of what they are going through. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, their thoughts, habits and the situations that cause distress. She draws on approaches that help clients set practical goals and build motivation to change.

Her experience includes work with young people in community settings, colleges and services for housing and addictions. She has also worked in employee assistance programmes and in private practice. This range means she is used to supporting people at different stages of life and with varied challenges.

Saralea places importance on building self-awareness and offering psycho-education so people can understand patterns that keep problems repeating. She blends person-centred listening with brief, goal-focused techniques to help clients try different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and habits.

People who come to her often want practical ways to cope with stress, manage difficult emotions and work through relationship or identity-related concerns. Prospective clients are encouraged to contact the service platform to begin the short matching process and arrange a first appointment.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Saralea uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a space where the client is heard and understood. This approach focuses on the client's perspective and helps identify thoughts and habits that shape feelings and behaviour.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This method works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about making different choices, and it supports building motivation step by step.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adjust techniques as therapy progresses so the work suits the individual's situation.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. The biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm available session types on the booking page before arranging a time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that focuses on thoughts, everyday habits and short-term goals, helping people apply changes in day-to-day life.
