Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the person's goals rather than rigid protocols. Saralea has worked in colleges, community services and addiction support projects, giving her practical experience with a wide range of issues. This includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship or family conflict.
Her approach draws on client-centred listening, solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing. She also uses psychoeducation to help people understand patterns and build coping skills. The work often covers self-esteem, intimacy, parenting concerns and grief.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online or by phone to suit different needs. Saralea aims to make each meeting feel relaxed and constructive, with a focus on small, achievable changes. If someone wants a clearer path through a difficult time, she helps map practical next steps.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on making the person feel heard and understood. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions; this helps when someone needs space to process emotions or clarify values.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is already working and builds on small changes. Sessions concentrate on practical steps and clear goals, which suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented work around parenting, stress or relationship issues.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It uses gentle questioning to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for steps like reducing addictive behaviour or starting difficult conversations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. They adapt the balance of listening, practical tasks and motivation work as sessions progress.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls support face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel more relaxed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and help people access support from wherever they are.
