Background and approach
Sabina is also completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical). Over six years she has worked with people affected by family and domestic violence, chronic pain, road accidents and related trauma. In sessions she works collaboratively and treats the client as the expert in their own life.
Conversations focus on defining clear goals, learning new skills and understanding recurring patterns. She uses techniques to improve sleep, manage stress and build self-esteem. Sabina draws on a range of approaches to suit each person.
She may use client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioural strategies can help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Narrative and existential ideas are used to reframe stories and explore meaning when life changes feel overwhelming.
She also works with relationship concerns, helping partners move from conflict to connection. Sessions include practical communication work and exploration of attachment patterns that influence closeness. Sabina offers therapy in English and French and works with adults in Australia.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel understood and shapes goals around their priorities, which can be especially helpful when managing anxiety or life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and offers step-by-step tools to change them; this approach is often used for anxiety, stress and sleep problems. Emotionally-focused ideas help people notice and change patterns that affect relationships, and are useful when communication or attachment issues cause pain.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time so techniques and focus evolve as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limitations while using approaches that normally work in person.
