How her approaches fit with online counselling
Saralea combines person-centred work with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to create a clear and flexible way of working. Person-Centred Therapy focuses on warm listening and building understanding, which helps when someone needs to feel heard and accepted. Motivational Interviewing supports change by helping people explore their own reasons for change and find motivation that feels manageable. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and builds on what is already working, which suits people who want concrete goals.Choosing the right approach is something Saralea treats as a shared task. She will listen to your needs and goals, then suggest ways of working together. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the working day, or avoiding the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to schedule regular sessions.
