About Sally

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with NCPS with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and depression. Sally also lists support for relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, self-esteem and sleep difficulties.

Her approach blends several ways of working so sessions are practical and straightforward. She uses client-centred and attachment-based ideas to help people talk about how relationships affect them. Cognitive behavioural therapy methods are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try out different behaviours.

Sally also draws on motivational interviewing to help people who want change but feel stuck, and she may use hypnotherapy as an option where appropriate. The therapist will discuss which methods seem helpful and agree the plan with each person. Sessions aim to be focused and collaborative rather than lecture-style.

Her background supports work with issues such as ADHD, adoption and foster care, autism spectrum concerns, body image and codependency. She also lists experience with more complex problems like dissociation, domestic violence and drug and alcohol addiction, and with health-related concerns including cancer and HIV/AIDS.

Sessions are offered in English and Sally accepts clients internationally. The site uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice repeating relationship habits and try new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach supports people who need time to feel heard and to build clarity about their goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, phobias and low mood because it includes simple tasks to practise between sessions.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods match the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting if something does not fit.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower-bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to make sessions more convenient while focusing on the same therapeutic goals as in-person work.
