About Sabrina

Sabrina Faulkner is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and LGBT concerns. She also supports clients dealing with sleep difficulties, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and the challenges of life changes. Sabrina presents herself with warmth and respect, offering a calm space to talk through difficult feelings.

Sabrina trained in psychology and holds a diploma in hypnotherapy, and she is listed with NCPS. She uses a humanistic, client-centred style that focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around the individual's goals, with practical tools brought in when they suit the work.

Her approach includes cognitive behavioural techniques for managing anxiety and mood, mindfulness practices to reduce stress, and narrative methods to reframe unhelpful stories people tell themselves. Hypnotherapy is offered alongside talk-based methods when appropriate to the client's needs. Sabrina also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction after major loss or life transitions.

She runs a private practice in the United Kingdom and does volunteer work in the community. Sabrina is an Amazon bestselling author and has developed a counselling perspective that combines psychological training with an interest in spiritual approaches.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and a plan they can use between sessions. The tone is practical and compassionate, with a focus on small, manageable steps toward feeling better.

How counselling approaches translate to online work

Sabrina uses client-centred counselling, which places the person and their goals at the heart of sessions. This means the counsellor listens closely and adapts questions and pacing to suit the individual's needs and priorities.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and gives practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT often includes simple exercises to practise between sessions and clear steps to reduce unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness techniques form a further strand of her work, with short exercises that help reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can be helpful for sleep issues, stress, and coping with painful memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel most useful. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online work easier to fit around family, work, and travel. Online sessions can make shorter check-ins possible, allow for quieter surroundings, or reduce the need to travel, helping therapy fit into everyday life.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
