About Babita

Babita Sareen-Flora is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship issues, grief and trauma. She offers sessions in English and Hindi and works with people based in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Babita uses an integrative approach that draws on several methods to suit each person’s situation. She often combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas. She may also use elements of emotionally-focused work or EMDR when these fit a person’s needs.

In sessions she focuses on building a clear working relationship. She aims to help people talk through painful experiences, recognise patterns in feelings and behaviour, and practise new ways of coping. Typical issues she helps with include anxiety, stress, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy and parenting concerns.

She also supports people with less visible concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image. Her work includes practical steps as well as reflective discussion so people can try things between sessions.

Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin a course of work the reader is asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings. It helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems. Client-centred work prioritises attentive listening and helping a person find their own solutions through reflective conversation. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and decides together which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and may change as sessions progress.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter setting that fits their day. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of methods remotely and will adapt practical exercises so they work in the chosen session format.
