About Sabine
Sabine Kermani is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and problems with eating and body image. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, and concerns linked to attachment and identity. Sabine brings a calm, curious presence and aims to help people feel heard and understood.
She trained and practised across London and Hong Kong over 13 years. Sabine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She is completing a doctorate in counselling psychology and researches the lived experience of romantic obsession. Sabine works in a pluralistic way, mixing methods to match what each person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred and existential perspectives.
That means sessions can include practical strategies, exploration of personal meaning, and attention to relationships and values. In sessions she keeps things straightforward and conversational. People can expect reflective listening, gentle challenge, and collaborative planning of small steps to try between meetings.
Sabine has experience in community and hospital settings as well as independent practice. Her wider focus covers abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control problems. She aims to tailor support so it fits each person's situation and goals.
How different therapies are used in online work
Sabine commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, depression and certain patterns around eating. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past and current relationships affect feelings and trust, and is useful for relationship and intimacy-related issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sabine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches together in a collaborative way. That means sessions can change over time as needs shift and as practical methods are tested.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people speak face to face and use visual cues. Phone sessions are often easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical next steps.
