About Sally

Sally Pinkus works with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, grief and a wide range of relationship and intimacy-related issues. She uses a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques, and is registered with the NCPS with three years' experience. Sessions aim to help people work through upsetting patterns and make manageable changes in day-to-day life.

Sally draws on client-centred work to create a conversational way of working. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thinking patterns and practical coping strategies. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships or early experiences are relevant to current problems.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. People can expect to talk about what matters to them, try out different ways of responding, and review what helps between sessions. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are also listed among the methods she uses, and these are applied when they fit the client’s goals.

Sally has experience with a broad range of concerns beyond core mood and anxiety issues, including parenting stress, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care matters, autism-related challenges and body image. She also works with complex issues such as domestic violence, dissociation and substance misuse, focusing on small practical steps alongside longer-term reflection.

Sessions are offered in English and she is based in the United Kingdom. International clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Sally uses client-centred therapy to create a conversational setting where the client leads the topics and pace; this helps with personal issues such as grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems because it focuses on concrete strategies and short-term tasks.

Attachment-based ideas are applied when past relationships or early experiences are affecting current ones. This approach looks at patterns in how people relate and helps develop different ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The exact session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, to check in quickly between meetings, or to choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can offer comparable therapeutic work remotely, and Sally aims to adapt practical exercises to suit a client’s everyday routine.
