About Saralea
Saralea Stewart is a counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship problems and major life changes. She holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Person Centred Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. Saralea works with clients from many backgrounds and aims to create a calm space to talk things through.
Saralea trained at the University of East Anglia and the University of Essex, and earlier gained a BTEC diploma in counselling skills.
Background and approach
She has worked in colleges, community organisations and addiction services, and has offered independent practice and employee assistance counselling. That variety shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach. Her sessions draw on client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the heart of the work.
Motivational Interviewing helps when people want support to change habits or address addictions. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and find small, manageable shifts. Saralea has particular experience supporting people with grief, trauma, LGBT concerns, intimacy and sex-related issues, and parenting stress.
She also works with anxiety, depression, anger, bipolar, and problems around self-esteem and body image. Additional focus areas include codependency, communication and blended family issues. She values clarity and practical tools alongside reflective listening.
Sessions include some psycho-education and collaborative planning so people leave with ideas to try between meetings. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete the short questionnaire. Saralea describes her practice as warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on helping people find realistic next steps.
She continues professional development and welcomes enquiries in English from people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Approaches Saralea lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Saralea works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as progress is made so the plan can change if something else would be more helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, and remove travel time. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or skip video when that feels better for them. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting to suit remote sessions.
