About Sabina

Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor with six years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Sabina also supports people facing abandonment issues, attachment struggles and blended family concerns.

She trained with a Master in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Mauritius. She is currently completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical). These qualifications inform her practical, talk-based approach to therapy.

In sessions she treats practical problems like sleep disruption, workplace stress and managing chronic pain after accidents. She also works with people affected by family or domestic violence and with those caring for someone who is ill. Sabina uses straightforward strategies to help with mood, stress and coping skills.

Sabina often brings together conversation and concrete tools. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of relating, and build skills for day-to-day living. She works collaboratively and treats the person as the expert in their own life.

When working with couples she focuses on how conflict turns into disconnection and how communication can be rebuilt. Sessions aim to clarify goals, try small changes, and review what works over time.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard and make decisions that suit their life, especially when dealing with loss or major change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. It is often used for stress, panic and phobias to try small experiments and track progress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with relationship patterns by naming emotions and improving how partners respond to each other. It is useful when conflict has led to ongoing disconnection.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and day-to-day constraints. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs change.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it easier to include goal-focused homework and regular progress reviews without rearranging a whole day.
