About Sabrina

Sabrina Faulkner is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and money-related pressures. She works with people facing depression, trauma, intimacy issues, sleep problems and parenting strains. Sabrina also supports those dealing with identity and LGBT concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue and major life changes.

She takes a humanistic, client-centred approach and tailors conversations to each person. That means the talk is shaped around what matters to the individual. Sabrina combines this with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques when they suit the situation.

Sabrina holds NCPS and has a degree in Psychology plus a diploma in hypnotherapy. She practises in the United Kingdom and has six years of clinical experience. In addition to running a private practice she does volunteer work and has published as an author.

In sessions she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Practical steps, like simple CBT tools or mindfulness exercises, can sit alongside deeper, reflective conversations. Hypnotherapy is offered as another option when appropriate.

She will work with each person to shape goals and a plan that fit their life. That could be short-term coping strategies for sleep or anger, or longer work on attachment, abandonment or body-image concerns. Before booking, confirm the exact session options available.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person and shaping sessions around their needs. It is useful for exploring feelings about relationships, identity and grief while building trust in the talking space.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills. It can help with anxiety, sleep issues, anger and coping with life changes through simple exercises and behaviour experiments.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and gentle ways to respond to stress. It can reduce rumination and support people who struggle with compassion fatigue or chronic worry.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree what to try first and adjust it as progress is made. Goals and methods are reviewed together so the plan fits the persons needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break or offering lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pace, tools and homework to work well in virtual sessions.
