About Sabrina
Sabrina Norton works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and confidence using approaches she practises. She is registered with the NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Sabrina uses clear, practical conversations to help people manage difficult feelings. She focuses on what is happening now and on steps that make daily life more manageable. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviours and coping skills alongside the effects of past trauma.
She has particular experience supporting people coping with grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures and major life changes. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, attachment difficulties, divorce and separation, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse. Sabrina offers straightforward, problem-focused work alongside longer-term trauma work when needed.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and on Trauma-Focused Therapy for people affected by abuse and other traumatic events. Conversations aim to build practical strategies, improve sleep and reduce overwhelming symptoms so people can manage daily tasks more easily.
Sabrina asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session. She uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time, and notes that fees vary with location.
How CBT and trauma work online
Sabrina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of past abuse or frightening events. This work looks at how traumatic experiences affect current thinking, feelings and behaviour and includes techniques to process upsetting memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sabrina will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made in early sessions and reviewed as work progresses.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel, and some approaches translate well to shorter check-ins or to sessions without video. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to keep therapy practical and to help people use strategies between meetings.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
