Support for stress, trauma and life changes
About Sally
Sally Pinkus helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. She supports concerns around eating and sleeping, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, career stress and self-esteem. Sally also works with people facing ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue and complex life changes.
She welcomes enquiries related to body image, adoption and foster care, autism, cancer, and HIV / AIDS. Sally is identified as NCPS, which indicates her registration with that professional body.
Background and approach
Sally keeps sessions grounded and straightforward. She listens first and then helps people spot small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Her work draws on attachment ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques.
Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when they suit the person and the issue. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Sally aims to create a calm space where worries can be named and paced work can begin.
She explains options clearly and checks in about what is helpful as therapy progresses. Her background includes three years of practice as a counsellor and psychotherapist. The NCPS credential is listed in her profile and is shown as her professional registration.
Talks typically focus on immediate problems and on ways to change daily habits. People can expect straightforward feedback, goal-focused planning and practical coping tools. Sally adapts methods to fit individual preferences rather than using a single fixed style.
Sally accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients in English. Sessions can be arranged to suit different schedules and needs by following the service's sign-up process.

How her approaches work online
Sally uses client-centred work to focus on the person's experience. This approach involves active listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, which helps people feel heard and make sense of their feelings. It can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, especially for addictions and lifestyle shifts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sally will suggest methods based on the person's concerns, goals and preferences. Together they will try options, check what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions fit different needs. Video calls let a therapist and client see each other and work through emotional material. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions and quicker ways to reflect on small steps. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments.
