About Sally

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and trauma. She also helps with relationship or intimacy worries, sleeping problems, grief, self-esteem and matters linked to ADHD. Sally lists a wide range of related concerns she works with, including parenting strain, compassion fatigue and body image issues.

Sally uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. She aims to make people feel at ease so they can talk openly about what is troubling them. Conversations are led by the client’s priorities and move at a pace they can manage.

Her background includes a national credential, NCPS, which is shown as her listed qualification. She has three years of experience noted in the profile and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients.

In practice she draws on several approaches such as attachment-informed listening, client-centred conversation and cognitive behavioural techniques. She may also use motivational interviewing and hypnotherapy where these fit a person's goals. The techniques chosen are explained and agreed together during the first meetings.

People starting with Sally are invited to set practical goals, try simple coping strategies between sessions and review progress regularly. The intention is to build small, achievable changes that add up to clearer thinking, calmer feelings and steadier day-to-day routines.

Step 3

How Sally’s approaches translate to online work

Sally uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people set their own goals; it is useful for emotional support and building self-understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to change how they feel, which can suit worries, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and agree a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the short biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or avoid the need to be on camera if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals commonly aim to make online sessions practical and straightforward so therapy can slot into everyday routines.
