About Sabrina

Sabrina Faulkner is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep issues, relationship strain, grief, and LGBT matters. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, low self-esteem, anger, and changes such as bereavement or life transitions. Sabrina uses a respectful, compassionate style and aims to tailor conversations to each person’s needs.

Sabrina holds a degree in Psychology and a diploma in hypnotherapy, and she is listed with NCPS. She combines a humanistic outlook with practical techniques to make sessions feel grounded and useful. In practice this means listening first, then suggesting small steps a person can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working that focus on what matters to the individual. She may also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness exercises to calm the nervous system, and hypnotherapy when appropriate for issues such as sleep. These methods are adapted to the person’s preferences and pace.

Sabrina has six years of experience and runs a private practice in the United Kingdom alongside volunteer work. She has written a book and describes herself as a spiritual counsellor in addition to her other roles. People can expect a warm, non-judgemental space and clear suggestions tailored to daily life.

Before booking, clients should confirm the precise session types Sabrina is offering at the time, so arrangements match their needs and circumstances.

Approaches that can support sleep and daily routines

Sabrina uses client-centred work that focuses on what matters to the person. This approach means the session follows the client’s priorities and pace, helping to identify small, manageable changes that can improve rest and daytime coping.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT techniques can help with unhelpful thinking patterns and routines that disrupt sleep, and provide practical strategies to test new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabrina will discuss options and together with the client decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm the exact session formats Sabrina currently offers before booking so arrangements suit everyday life. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions feel more practical. Talk with Sabrina about what will best fit a usual day and technology preferences.
