About Sabrina

Sabrina Faulkner is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship friction, grief and loss, and issues linked to identity such as LGBT concerns. Codependency and difficulties around intimacy, boundaries or people-pleasing are among the topics she works with.

Sabrina uses a human-centred way of working. Sessions focus on honest conversation and practical steps rather than jargon. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, and on mindfulness techniques to build steadier moments in daily life.

Her background includes a degree in Psychology, a diploma in hypnotherapy, and NCPS registration. She runs a private practice and has also contributed time through volunteer work. She has written professionally and combines that experience with counselling in session.

In the room she listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. Together they shape a plan with short-term goals and checkable steps. That might involve gentle hypnotherapy sessions, practical CBT tasks between meetings, or mindfulness exercises to reduce anxiety.

People come for help with sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, or life changes such as adoption and foster care challenges. Sabrina also supports those dealing with chronic illness, body image, and the stresses that come from caregiving.

Before booking, people should confirm the current session formats she offers. The initial step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first meeting through the service button.

How sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help

Sabrina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help steady mood and ease worry.

She also offers Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on open dialogue and listening so the person can find what matters to them. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It also lets people use practices learned in sessions straightaway in their everyday life, and the therapist will adapt exercises so they work over remote meetings.
