About Sabina

Sabina Miah is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and sleep difficulties. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, anger, parenting strains, and life changes such as bereavement or illness. Sabina works in a warm, down-to-earth way and aims to make it easier to talk about things that feel heavy or confusing.

Sabina trained to degree level in counselling and psychotherapy and has eight years of direct counselling experience alongside many more years in mental health roles. She uses person-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience first, and she also draws on solution-focused ideas to help clients spot small, practical steps forward. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what matters to the individual.

In practice Sabina listens for the practical problems behind emotional distress and helps people try new approaches in manageable steps. She encourages people to name what feels hard, to notice strengths, and to plan small changes that fit daily life. Her lived experience of adversity informs an empathic and human approach to therapy.

People come to Sabina for help with a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, eating and body image concerns, ADHD, chronic illness, and intimacy-related problems. She aims to work at each person’s pace and to focus on what is useful now rather than on technical labels.

When someone is ready to begin, Sabina supports a gradual process of settling into therapy, building trust and setting straightforward goals. She offers practical ways to cope, calm down, and improve sleep and everyday functioning over time.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the person’s lead. It focuses on understanding feelings and building a trusting working relationship, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and sleep problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what works now. It helps people set short-term goals and try doable changes that may improve daily routines and rest patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then test ways of working together. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Confirm the exact session options when you book so they match your life and schedule.
