About Sana

Sana Fatima helps people with relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem, career issues, stress and anxiety. She also works with grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, intimacy-related matters and compassion fatigue. Sessions are delivered in English, Hindi and Urdu and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sana has four years of professional experience.

Sana uses conversational, person-centred work alongside structured techniques when they are useful. She draws on cognitive behavioural strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values even when feelings are difficult. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy inform how she approaches relationships and personal stories.

In sessions she aims to listen and respond to what the person brings. People can expect a mix of talking and practical exercises, such as noticing patterns, practising new ways of responding, and trying short behavioural steps between meetings. The emphasis is on what is useful now rather than on technical labels.

Sana has worked with a range of concerns linked to family life, loss, identity and life transitions. She also focuses on areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and issues relating to alternative sexual cultures and kink.

She accepts people from outside the UK and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients choose the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Sana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions that match those values, which can help with low mood, anxiety and major life changes. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which is helpful for anxiety, stress and difficulties with motivation.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy principles to make sessions responsive to the person in front of her, and elements of Emotionally-Focused and Narrative approaches when relationship patterns or life stories are central to the issue. These methods help examine interaction patterns and the stories people tell about themselves, and can be useful for intimacy, relationship and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and agree on techniques that fit their aims and preferences. This collaborative process includes reviewing what helps and adjusting the approach over time.

Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, such as attending sessions without travel, having a brief check-in during a lunch break, or choosing a lower-bandwidth option if needed. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which session arrangements will suit the individual's circumstances.
