Sabrina’s approach and specialisms 

Sabrina works primarily using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR, offering both as stand-alone therapies while also integrating them where appropriate.

CBT is an evidence-based and goal-focused therapy that explores the relationship between thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical responses. The work focuses on identifying patterns that may be maintaining difficulties and developing healthier and more balanced ways of responding.

Sessions are collaborative, structured, and tailored to each client’s needs and goals. Alongside reflective work, therapy often includes practical tools, behavioural strategies, and exercises that help clients challenge fears, reduce avoidance, build confidence, and create meaningful behavioural change.

Alongside CBT, Sabrina also works using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a therapy designed to help process distressing or traumatic experiences that may feel emotionally unresolved or “stuck.”

Her integrative approach is particularly suited to clients whose present-day difficulties are shaped by earlier experiences that continue to affect self-esteem, emotional regulation, relationships, or sense of safety. This may include childhood criticism, bullying, humiliation, neglect, relational trauma, or significant life experiences that remain emotionally overwhelming.

The work is collaborative, paced carefully, and focused on helping clients feel grounded, safe, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.

Trauma, PTSD, and EMDR

Sabrina has extensive experience supporting clients affected by trauma, PTSD, and difficult past experiences that continue to affect emotional wellbeing in adulthood.

She works with clients experiencing emotional overwhelm, anxiety, shame, self-doubt, panic, hypervigilance, and feeling “stuck” in patterns linked to unresolved experiences.

EMDR can help clients process distressing memories so they feel less emotionally charged and disruptive in day-to-day life. This includes trauma linked to childhood experiences such as bullying, criticism, humiliation, emotional neglect, or difficult relational dynamics, as well as more recent traumatic events.

Her approach combines emotional safety with structured trauma work, helping clients process experiences at a manageable pace while building greater stability and confidence.

Anxiety, Depression, and Self-Esteem

Sabrina works with a wide range of anxiety-related difficulties including generalised anxiety, panic, social anxiety, health anxiety, OCD, stress, and burnout, as well as depression and persistent low self-esteem.

Her work focuses on helping clients understand the underlying patterns contributing to emotional distress, including self-critical thinking, avoidance, perfectionism, fear of judgement, and longstanding beliefs about self-worth.

She has a particular interest in imposter syndrome and difficulties around identity, belonging, and confidence, including within dual and multi-heritage experiences where cultural expectations, visibility, or feeling “between worlds” can affect emotional wellbeing and sense of self.

The work combines insight with practical tools and strategies, helping clients build healthier coping patterns and develop greater confidence in themselves and their relationships.

Women’s Mental Health and Long-Term Health Conditions

Sabrina has specialist interests in women’s mental health, including menopause, PMDD, hormonal changes, identity shifts, stress, and burnout.

She understands the emotional and psychological impact these experiences can have on mood, confidence, relationships, functioning, and sense of identity, particularly where clients feel overwhelmed, exhausted, emotionally reactive, or disconnected from themselves.

She also has specialist training and experience in CBT for long-term health conditions, supporting clients living with chronic illness including diabetes, persistent pain, cardiac conditions, and pulmonary conditions.

Her work focuses both on the emotional impact of living with physical health difficulties and on helping clients develop ways of coping that feel more manageable, compassionate, and sustainable within day-to-day life.
