Sabina Jugurnauth, ACA

Sabina Jugurnauth helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains and the big life changes that follow illness, loss or separation. She works with individuals who are managing depression, coping with chronic pain or illness, and people facing difficult caregiving roles. Sabina speaks English and French and brings six years of clinical experience to her work.

Sabina uses a collaborative, respectful style. She sees the person as the expert in their life and helps them set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical tools to manage stress, improve sleep and build stronger self-esteem. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at everyday results.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create a supportive space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is included when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central to the work.

She also uses Narrative and Existential ideas to help people find meaning, reframe difficult stories and make choices aligned with their values. This mix suits people dealing with loss, life transitions, health challenges and relationship conflict. Sabina aims to help clients break old patterns and develop personalised strategies that fit their lives.

Sabina holds a Master in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Mauritius. She is completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical) and has worked with people affected by family and domestic violence, road accidents, PTSD and complex health needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client’s pace and priorities. Online sessions that use this approach concentrate on listening, reflecting and helping the client name what matters most, which often suits people facing life transitions or stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions CBT is used to spot unhelpful thinking, set small experiments and practise new skills between appointments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on feelings and attachment needs in relationships and can help couples or individuals untangle patterns that keep creating conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sabina will work with the person to consider goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise CBT skills, emotional work, narrative reframing or a blend of methods.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day and the ability to keep regular sessions during health or travel disruptions. Because the listed biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm current options before booking. This helps plan how to use sessions for skill practice, relationship work or managing ongoing health and caregiving demands.
