About Saralea
Saralea Stewart is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She holds a first-class BA (Hons) in Person Centred Counselling and has worked across colleges, community services and private practice. Her caseload has included people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and family or blended family issues.
She offers straightforward conversation and practical tools rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can change daily life. She also brings work on attachment, communication and coping skills into sessions when those topics are relevant.
Saralea trained at the University of East Anglia and the University of Essex and also holds a BTEC Diploma in Counselling Skills. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and continues to take further training linked to counselling, addictions and sex and relationship concerns.
Her background includes college counselling, community services for young people, and work with addictions services. She has spent years supporting students and staff across Cambridgeshire and has private practice experience alongside employee assistance work.
In sessions she uses person-centred conversations, solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing techniques. These approaches are applied to everyday problems such as parenting strain, loyalty conflicts in stepfamilies, stress at work and coping with bereavement or life changes.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It is useful when someone needs a calm, focused space to sort out feelings and choices. Motivational Interviewing is about weighing options and building motivation. It helps people who want to change behaviours such as addictive patterns or procrastination. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that can be tried right away and is useful for concrete problems like communication or parenting routines.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what the client hopes to achieve and try methods that fit those goals. Sessions can be adjusted over time if a different emphasis helps more, and the client and therapist work together to find what is effective.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can offer this flexibility so sessions slot into everyday life without asking for a large time commitment.
