About Babita
Babita Sareen-Flora is a counsellor who aims to make therapy easy to access and understand. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression and trauma. Sessions are conversational and practical, so clients can talk about what matters most and try small steps that fit their life.
Babita has eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which means she is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
She works in English and Hindi and accepts clients from outside the UK when appropriate. Her approach adapts to each person. Some sessions draw on narrative ideas to help people tell different stories about themselves.
Other times she uses attachment-based or client-centred ways of working so people feel heard and understood. She may also bring in cognitive behavioural techniques when thoughts and behaviours are causing distress. Work in sessions is collaborative.
Babita listens first, then helps set clear goals together. That can mean short-term practical work for a specific problem, or deeper conversations about long-standing patterns and relationships. She offers a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist's availability.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Babita directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Babita's approaches work online
Babita draws on Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred methods to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships so they can see alternatives and make different choices. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and closeness, which can help with trust and connection issues. Client-Centred work gives the person space to be heard without judgement and to lead the pace and topics of sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Babita listens to each person's needs and goals and then suggests ways of working that fit those aims. She discusses choices together so the plan reflects the client's preferences and life situation rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, keeping a therapeutic thread between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy ongoing and flexible around daily life.
