About Sabrina
Counsellor Sabrina Norton is a member of NCPS with seven years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around self esteem and motivation. Her profile lists support for grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, relationships and career-related worries.
Sabrina uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy for people processing past abuse or traumatic events. In sessions she talks through current difficulties and practical ways to manage symptoms.
Consultations begin with an opening meeting to find out what matters to the client and what they hope to change. From there she and the client plan how to work together, including what to focus on week to week. Sessions aim to be clear and goal-oriented, with time for reflection and practical exercises when useful.
She also lists specific work with abandonment and attachment issues, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and sexual assault and abuse. That work is integrated with her trauma focus and CBT methods rather than presented as separate services.
Sabrina describes a respectful, sensitive approach in session and adapts conversations to each person. People are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first appointment through the site. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How CBT and trauma work in online counselling
The description below explains two approaches Sabrina lists and how they are used in online counselling. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward tasks and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different reactions to stress and anxiety.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past traumatic events. It helps people make sense of distressing memories and reduce the ways those memories affect daily life. This approach is used for post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and other abuse-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they choose whether to use more CBT, more trauma-focused work, or a combination that fits the persons needs.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family life and cutting travel time. Online work can also make it easier to attend regular meetings when appointments would otherwise be difficult to reach. Session options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current formats before booking.
