About Sana

Sana Fatima is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with relationship difficulties, parenting questions, self-esteem concerns, career stress, anxiety and related life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu and she accepts international clients.

Sana keeps conversations straightforward and practical. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centred Therapy among others. That means clients can expect help noticing patterns of thought and behaviour, practising small changes, and clarifying what matters most to them.

Her background includes supporting people with grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and addiction concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, infidelity and separation, as well as longer-term situations such as adoption or foster care, immigration issues and hoarding. Sana draws on Emotionally-Focused and Narrative approaches to look at relationship patterns and personal stories.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations will cover what is most pressing, ways to try things between sessions, and what progress looks like for the individual. Sana adapts the pace to the person’s circumstances and preferences.

Clients who book are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Sana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small meaningful steps, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical experiments between sessions to reduce stress and improve coping. Client-Centred Therapy offers a way to talk things through at the client’s pace, focusing on what matters most to them rather than a fixed agenda.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Sana will discuss what feels most helpful, try methods together, and adjust based on the client’s goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work rather than a one-time choice.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to schedule a shorter check-in during a lunch break or use audio only when bandwidth is limited, but clients should confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to make sessions useful within everyday routines.
