Background and approach

This often helps with emotional overwhelm and recurring patterns. Her approach draws on client-centred work, psychodynamic thinking and somatic methods. That means she pays attention to the relationship in therapy, looks at how past events influence today, and includes the body in conversations about feeling better.

Trauma-focused strategies are used when past harm continues to affect day-to-day life. Sabina has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practices in the United Kingdom and can work with people in other countries when arrangements allow.

Sessions can cover a wide range of issues, including workplace strain, relationship structures such as polyamory, gender dysphoria, sexual assault and alternative sexual cultures. Sabina aims to support people who want clearer direction, greater self-compassion, or relief from anxious thinking.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-centred work focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without judgement and following the client's lead to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits people needing practical support and clearer direction.

Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences and relationships shape current patterns. Talking about these patterns can bring new insight and reduce repetitive reactions to stress and anxiety. This method can be useful for people curious about the roots of their difficulties.

Somatic therapy pays attention to the body as well as thoughts. It helps people notice bodily signs of anxiety and learn simple ways to calm physical tension. Combining this with talking therapies can make emotional relief feel more complete.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sabina will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise talking, body-based techniques, or trauma-focused steps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for richer conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief emotional support, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions around work, study or travel and offer flexibility for different routines and energy levels.
