About Sabina

Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. She draws on six years of clinical experience to offer straightforward support and practical tools for coping with day-to-day challenges. Sabina speaks English and French and works from Australia.

Sabina uses a collaborative style. She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their life and helps them set clear goals. Sessions focus on finding small, doable steps to manage stress, improve sleep, and build steadier self-esteem.

Her work includes support for people affected by chronic pain, cancer, caregiver burnout and the aftermath of accidents or domestic violence. She also helps with communication problems, commitment worries, blended family tensions, and separation or divorce issues. Sabina offers techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and improve how people relate to themselves and others.

The therapeutic methods she draws on include client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural strategies, emotionally-focused work for relationships, existential reflection, and narrative approaches to reframe personal stories. These methods are used to suit each person rather than as a one-size-fits-all package.

Sabina trained at Western Sydney University and previously completed a BSc (Hons) in Psychology at the University of Mauritius. She is completing further postgraduate study in clinical psychology and uses that learning to shape clear, practical plans during therapy.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that fits their schedule. Sabina aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life rather than a distant ideal.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you, helping you feel heard and understood so you can decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical techniques to change them; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift the emotions that drive relationship patterns, which is useful when communication breaks down.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabina will discuss goals and try methods together to see what fits best. She adapts techniques to your needs and checks in regularly so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel, easing scheduling around work or caregiving, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written tools, worksheets and reflective exercises between meetings to keep progress moving.
