Sally Pinkus, NCPS

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor and psychotherapist who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image concerns, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, career changes and coping with life transitions. Sally works from a broad, person-focused stance and aims to make conversations straightforward and practical.

She uses a mix of approaches chosen to suit each person and problem. That can include attachment-based ideas that look at how past relationships shape present ones, client-centred listening that prioritises the person’s experience, and cognitive behavioural techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit for some goals.

Sally holds the NCPS credential and has three years of experience working in the UK. She works with issues affecting LGBT people and has additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, HIV/AIDS and substance and alcohol problems.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental, aiming to put people at ease so they can talk honestly. Sessions typically look at immediate concerns, practical coping strategies and underlying patterns that keep problems going. The emphasis is on finding helpful steps that fit everyday life.

How Sally’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps when trust, closeness or repeated conflict are part of the problem and aims to change how someone relates to others.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. It gives space for someone to make sense of their experience and decide on their own next steps.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits because it breaks issues down into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. This collaborative conversation can include trying different techniques to see what fits best for the person’s situation.

In general, working with a counsellor online can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, fewer trips, and more flexibility in scheduling while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
