About Sara
My name is Sara O’Donnell and I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I work with both couples and individuals, and I’m an accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCS) as well as a registered member of the BACP.
I work within the NCS Code of Ethics and the BACP Ethical Framework, and I also undertake regular professional development and supervision to ensure my practice remains of the highest standard.
In my experience, many couples try hard to resolve issues on their own before seeking therapy. They often find themselves stuck in the same arguments and feel upset, hurt, or overwhelmed by the patterns they cannot break. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where both partners can feel supported, understood, and encouraged to find new ways of relating.

Meet Sara
Background & Experience
I have worked extensively with both individuals and couples, addressing anxiety, depression, conflict and relationship breakdown, including infidelities and loss of intimacy and addiction.
My approach is integrative and person-centred, and is always tailored to the unique needs of each person and partnership.
I draw on training in Transactional Analysis and Relational Life Skills (RLT) to help you process and understand the relationship patterns that keep you stuck. Together we identify unmet needs, build on inner resources and learn practical relational skills to create the relationship you want.
I support couples to communicate their wants and needs more clearly and to find greater relational balance, working on conflict resolution and restoring intimacy. We explore emotional triggers, habitual roles people take to protect themselves, and develop practical ways to replace negative cycles with healthier patterns.
People often describe me as empathetic, authentic and non-judgemental, and tell me they feel safe and supported when sharing their stories. My aim is to help you build greater balance, harmony and wellbeing within your relationships while supporting each individual’s personal growth.
How I Can Help
I will support you in understanding your individual needs, as well as your needs as a couple.
