About Sabrina

Sabrina Faulkner is a counsellor accredited in the UK with an NCPS credential and six years of clinical experience. She holds a degree in Psychology and a diploma in hypnotherapy. Sabrina works with young adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes.

She uses a humanistic, client-centred approach in conversation. That means the focus is on listening and responding to what each person brings. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns, mindfulness practices to reduce stress, and hypnotherapy where appropriate.

Sabrina runs a private practice alongside volunteer work. She has also published as an Amazon bestselling author and offers her skills as a spiritual counsellor in addition to conventional counselling methods. Her background in psychology informs a practical, down-to-earth way of working.

Sessions concentrate on clear problems and daily challenges. Topics she commonly addresses include sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, parenting strain, intimacy and sexual culture topics, and managing ADHD or bipolar-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption or foster care experiences.

Her style is direct and person-focused. Conversations aim to identify manageable steps and small experiments to try between sessions. People looking to begin can follow the site's process to see available online therapy options and book a first meeting.

How Sabrina uses therapeutic methods in online sessions

Sabrina commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.

She may also use hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices as supportive tools. Hypnotherapy involves guided techniques to help with relaxation and shifting unhelpful responses, while mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to agree what methods to try, based on a person’s goals and preferences. Conversation and short experiments between sessions help test what is most useful.

The site asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts and commuting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so sessions can fit into a busy week.
