About Sally

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has around three years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and codependency among other issues.

Sally uses straightforward, talk-based work. Sessions focus on what is troubling the person now and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She draws on client-centred ways of working to listen and reflect, and on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses.

Her background also includes attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to change habits around alcohol, drugs or other behaviours. Hypnotherapy may be offered as one of a few options for managing stress or sleep problems.

Sally aims to help people who keep putting others first, who struggle to say no, or who get caught in patterns of people-pleasing. She offers straightforward conversations about boundaries, coping strategies and small experiments to test out new ways of being.

Sessions are delivered in English and Sally sees clients in the United Kingdom. International clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Sally’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how someone connects now. In an online setting this often means talking about repeated patterns - for example always putting others first - and noticing where those patterns come from. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out new behaviours. Online sessions can include short practical exercises and homework to try between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sally will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as those goals change. The collaboration is about trying small changes and seeing what helps in day-to-day life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people value online work because it can be easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep regular appointments while juggling work, family and other commitments.
