Background and approach
Sabrina combines a client-focused style with practical tools to tackle daily struggles. Conversations are shaped around each person’s priorities and what they want to change. Her approach is influenced by narrative and client-centred work, which makes space for people’s stories and values.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting. Hypnotherapy may be used when it fits someone’s needs. Sabrina works from a independent practice in the United Kingdom and carries out some voluntary work alongside her practice.
She describes her way of working as respectful, sensitive and compassionate, aiming to hold space for people during hard moments. People who choose to work with her can expect a tailored plan and an emphasis on collaboration. Sessions focus on small, practical steps alongside listening to the story behind the problem.
This can help with day-to-day coping, clearer communication and a firmer sense of direction.

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 Sabrina directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Many of Sabrina’s sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps reframe those stories so they feel less limiting. Narrative work can be useful for identity questions, relationship patterns and issues like shame or self-esteem.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, where the person sets the pace and the counsellor offers non-judgemental listening and reflection. This approach is helpful when someone needs emotional support, clearer priorities or a space to make sense of change.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas are brought in to find practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. That can help with anxiety, sleep problems, mood swings and managing day-to-day stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide what feels most helpful. This collaborative process can include trying different methods and keeping what works.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat offers shorter check-ins and messaging lets people share between sessions. These options aim to make access flexible and practical for a range of needs.
