About Sally
Counsellor Sally Pinkus is registered with NCPS and has three years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression and relationship difficulties.
Sally uses a mix of practical talking methods. Sessions focus on what someone is struggling with now and on what they want to change. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She also uses client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to address thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
Sally also offers hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing where these fit a person's needs. Those approaches can be used to support changes in motivation, habits and emotional responses. She tailors how she works to the person in front of her rather than following one fixed method.
The counsellor mentions work with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, bipolar issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and cancer related issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and Sally accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and conflict. It can help when relationship issues, intimacy concerns or attachment wounds keep repeating. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person speaking and provides attentive listening and reflection to clarify feelings and choices. It often helps when someone needs space to make sense of their experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and steps to reduce anxiety, low mood or problematic habits.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree what to try first. This is a collaborative process that considers the person's goals, preferences and what feels doable in their life.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit work and family timetables, reduce travel time and can make it easier to continue therapy while living abroad. Others prefer shorter phone check-ins when technology or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals will help choose a practical arrangement that fits everyday life.
