Sabine Kermani
Calm, curious counsellor focused on practical change
About Sabine
Sabine Kermani helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and body image concerns, addictions, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, and LGBT-related worries. She is named Sabine Kermani and brings thirteen years of experience across a variety of psychological settings. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sabine uses a straightforward, curious approach and aims to empower people rather than dictate solutions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and making practical changes that fit everyday life. She adapts her style to each person and encourages self-compassion while working through hard topics. Her background includes work in community and hospital settings in London and Hong Kong, and a wide mix of clinical experience across public and personal services.
That experience has informed a pluralistic practice that draws on different therapy ideas depending on the situation. Sabine blends cognitive behavioural techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how past relationships shape current difficulties.
Existential ideas are used when people want to explore meaning, values and identity. Practical matters such as communication, boundaries, commitment and control issues are addressed alongside emotional work. Sessions are geared towards clear next steps and manageable changes.
She offers help to people from diverse backgrounds and accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of trying to avoid difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and is helpful for depression, anxiety and eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence current patterns and can be useful when relationship patterns, intimacy or trust are causing distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabine will discuss options and adapt techniques to the person's goals, preferences and what feels most effective. This is a collaborative process and changes over time as needs shift.
Online sessions by video call make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep face-to-face contact when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and suit those who prefer writing or need flexible timings. Many registered or accredited professionals use these options to offer practical, accessible support.
