Background and approach
She is completing a doctorate in counselling psychology that explores the lived experience of romantic obsession. Sabine works in a pluralistic way, drawing on different therapies to match a person’s needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioural methods to look at thought patterns and practical coping skills.
She also brings existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction. Attachment-based ideas inform how she views close relationships and patterns that cause pain. Client-centred principles mean sessions focus on what the person wants and at a pace that suits them.
Sabine has experience in community, hospital, personal and NHS settings and aims to make therapy practical and relevant. Her approach tends to blend talking, practical exercises and reflective discussion. Sessions are straightforward and focused on small, manageable steps.
Sabine offers online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and finding a sense of direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood and some eating concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current difficulties and helps people recognise and change repeating cycles in close relationships.
Finding the right blend is part of the work. Sabine takes a collaborative approach and will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts the plan as therapy progresses so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or distance make in-person work hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit in during short breaks. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These formats make it easier for people to access consistent support around work, family and travel commitments.
