About Sabina

Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor with six years of clinical experience based in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. Sabina speaks English and French and uses practical tools to help people manage day-to-day pressures.

She trained with a Master in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Mauritius. She is also completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical). Those studies inform how she blends talking therapies with skill-based techniques.

Sabina sees people who have lived through family or domestic violence, chronic pain, and road accidents. She helps with sleep problems, stress management, self-esteem and workplace difficulties. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment, codependency and communication challenges.

In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their life. Work is collaborative and goal-focused. She uses conversation to help people notice patterns, test new ways of reacting, and take small steps that change daily life.

Her approach combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, along with elements of Narrative and Existential work. That mix is used to clarify problems, shift unhelpful thoughts and strengthen emotional connection in relationships.

People who choose Sabina can expect clear techniques and reflective conversation. She aims to help clients develop practical coping strategies and an unfolding personal story that supports healthier choices moving forward.

How sessions work

How Sabina uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects and helps the person find their own answers. It suits people who need a space to sort out feelings and make decisions about relationships or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression and change unhelpful patterns. CBT sessions often include exercises to try between meetings to build new habits.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand their emotional responses and how these affect relationships. It can be useful when people want to change repeated interaction patterns or deepen emotional connection with a partner.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help clients maintain regular sessions alongside work, caregiving or other commitments.
