About Sanaa
Sanaa Baksh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to make the first steps into therapy easier to take. She describes therapy as a place to be heard without judgment and offers a steady, patient approach. Sanaa works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and phobias.
She speaks English and Arabic and brings three years of counselling experience to her work.
Background and approach
Sanaa blends structured techniques with human-centred conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside humanistic ideas to offer both practical tools and space for emotional reflection. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client and focus on making small, manageable changes that matter in everyday life.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Counselling and a foundation degree in Counselling Psychology, and she holds BACP registration. Sanaa has completed a range of certificates and diplomas relevant to counselling, including work on online counselling, safeguarding and domestic abuse awareness.
She is familiar with issues such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, control issues, panic attacks, coping with disasters, domestic violence, immigration stress and end-of-life concerns. Sanaa also works with feelings of isolation, guilt and shame, emptiness and questions about life purpose. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Many clients find Cognitive Behavioural Therapy useful for anxiety, panic and phobias because it focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical, step-by-step strategies. CBT offers clear exercises to reduce avoidance and manage panic symptoms.Humanistic approaches in Sanaa's work emphasise being seen and heard, and exploring personal values and meaning. This helps when people feel empty, disconnected or unsure about life purpose and supports gentle emotional processing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different techniques, and then agree a plan that feels right. That collaboration helps shape whether more structured tasks or open conversation will be used week to week.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work or caregiving commitments and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
