Saralea Stewart, NCPS

Saralea Stewart is a counsellor with ten years' experience. She holds a first class BA (Hons) Degree in Person Centred Counselling and is registered with the NCPS. She has worked in private practice and with organisations that support young people, students and people facing addiction.

She tends to keep sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is worrying the person now and on small steps they can take between sessions. Topics Saralea commonly sees include anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain and coping with major life change.

Her training emphasises person-centred ways of working, which means clients set the pace and priorities. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, and solution-focused ideas to build on what already works. These approaches are mixed to fit each person's situation rather than following a fixed formula.

Saralea has worked in college counselling services, addiction support, and employee assistance settings. That range means she is used to short-term practical work and longer conversations about identity, values and life direction. She is also experienced in supporting people from the LGBTQIA+ community.

People who choose her often want clear, calm guidance and practical tools. Her sessions aim to increase self-awareness, teach coping strategies and help people plan achievable next steps. Prospective clients are invited to check session options and booking details before they start.

How Saralea's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so clients can uncover what matters most to them. This helps when someone feels stuck, unsure about values, or wants to make sense of a life shift. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change and building their confidence to act; it suits people weighing new choices or wanting to address habits like substance use or unhealthy patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Saralea will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, and then agree a way of working together. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted over time as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, study or caring responsibilities and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to maintain continuity when life is busy or when someone is based outside the therapist's locality. Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the available online and in-person options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and needs.
