Background and approach
She encourages practical steps that fit into everyday life. Her work draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person's own goals. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Somatic work and trauma-focused methods are used when the body or past hurts are part of the issue. Sabina has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She practises in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
She accepts clients from other countries when arrangements suit both parties. Special topics Sabina often addresses include sexuality and sexual culture, gender dysphoria, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, sexual assault and abuse, women's issues and young adult concerns. She also helps with workplace stress, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness and discovering life purpose.
People who work with Sabina can expect a collaborative tone. Together they set aims, try different ways of working and check what is helpful. The focus is on steady progress and finding approaches that fit each person's life.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard and helps the person set the pace and direction of sessions. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk things through.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings over time. It helps people notice how past experiences shape current reactions and choices. This can be useful for persistent relationship patterns or recurring emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written conversation or need ongoing brief contact between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can provide effective therapy across these formats, making it easier to fit support around work, study and daily life.
