About Sara Watson

Sara Watson is a counsellor who practices from a Humanistic perspective, working with each person as a unique individual rather than a diagnosis. She trained in Holistic Therapies, Sports Therapy and Nutrition before moving into counselling, and brings that interest in overall health and wellbeing into her therapeutic work. She is trauma informed and has significant experience supporting people who have survived domestic abuse, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, loss and bereavement, and relationship difficulties.

Sara aims to help clients who feel stuck or uncertain about their next steps by listening without judgement and supporting them to make sense of their experience. Her approach focuses on strengthening self-connection so people can begin to move forward with greater clarity and resilience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate professional qualifications in counselling and membership of recognised counselling registers.

Sara frames help-seeking as an act of persistence rather than surrender and offers a calm, compassionate presence as clients explore change, healing and recovery at their own pace.

Humanistic and Trauma-Informed Online Care

Humanistic therapy focuses on understanding the whole person and their lived experience. It emphasizes empathy, active listening and supporting clients to reconnect with their values and strengths - an approach that can help with issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. Trauma-informed care recognises the impact of traumatic experiences and prioritises safety, trust and gradual pacing; it can be particularly helpful for people recovering from domestic abuse or complex trauma.

Sara approaches therapy collaboratively, exploring different evidence-based techniques together with each client to find what fits best. She works with clients to set goals, try approaches in session, and adjust the plan according to needs, preferences and progress, so the therapeutic pathway is shaped jointly rather than prescribed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone when a face-to-face meeting is not possible, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or those who prefer written communication. These flexible formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs and support continued access to a registered professional from different locations.
