She is NCPS credentialed and BACP-registered, and holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Edge Hill University - the degree indicates undergraduate study in counselling and psychotherapy and the NCPS is a professional credential that reflects training and qualification.

With eight years of direct counselling experience and more than two decades of work in the broader mental health field, Sabina has supported people across a wide range of concerns. Her practice has included work with anxiety, stress, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, bereavement, self-harm and low self-esteem, among other presenting issues. She has worked with both adults and young people in settings from schools to specialist services, and currently sees clients in private practice and through online services.

Sabina’s core training is in client-centred approaches and she also draws on solution-focused and existential ideas where helpful, blending tools and models to meet each person’s needs. She is trained and certified in online and telephone counselling to make support accessible. Alongside professional experience, she speaks from lived experience of adversity and aims to offer warmth, empathy and genuine human understanding while helping people reconnect with their strengths.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sabina uses client-centred therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective is central. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening and supporting clients to explore their feelings and values, which can help with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns and emotional overwhelm.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which looks for practical, achievable steps and strengths that can be built on quickly. This approach is useful for people who want focused direction on immediate goals like coping strategies for stress, improving communication, or making specific life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sabina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions based on what works best for the individual rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how people access support - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, manage mobility or geographic limits, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
