Background and approach
Over six years she has worked with people facing chronic pain, the effects of road accidents, family and domestic violence, and other major life stressors. In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their own life. She will listen first, then help set practical goals together.
You can expect a mix of talking, problem-solving and simple exercises to try between meetings. Sabina draws on a few complementary approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps when anxiety and mood get in the way of daily life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns are a key concern. Client-Centred and narrative ideas support exploring personal values and life stories. She offers work that aims to reduce suffering and build skills for managing sleep, stress, self-esteem and workplace difficulties.
Sessions are delivered in English and French and are shaped around each person’s priorities and pace.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your pace, reflects what matters to you and helps you clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework you can do between video or text sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change unhelpful relationship patterns by identifying emotions and core needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabina will discuss options and adjust methods based on your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - you and the counsellor decide what to try and review what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing support or when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.
