About Sabina

Sabina Miah NCPS is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of counselling experience and over 20 years working in mental health. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, addictions, and relationship concerns, and lists social anxiety and phobia among the issues she supports.

Sabina works in a straightforward, person-focused way. She uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning and choice, and on solution-focused techniques to build small, practical steps forward.

In sessions she concentrates on what the person brings right now. There is time to talk about feelings, practical problems, and how those affect daily life. She aims to help people notice what already works for them, and to try simple approaches that can change how they cope with social situations and worry.

Her background includes formal study and long experience in a variety of settings such as schools and specialist services. Sabina has supported people through trauma, bereavement, chronic illness, and issues around identity and relationships. She also has personal lived experience of adversity which informs her way of working.

Practical details are kept clear. Sessions work within a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session when they decide to begin.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and understood and encouraging self-directed change. It can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small goals. Sessions often include identifying what is already working and trying brief experiments to build confidence, which suits people wanting focused, short-term change.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility, and can help when life changes or uncertainty feel overwhelming. It supports people who want to think about values and how they want to live, rather than only addressing symptoms.

Working together, the therapist and client decide which approach fits best. This is a collaborative process and may change as the work unfolds. The therapist will suggest methods based on the client’s goals and preferences, and check in regularly about what is helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people choose whether to use video or a different contact style when that better suits their everyday routine.
