About Sally

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor and psychotherapist who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleeping difficulties and a wide range of life challenges. She also helps with addictions, depression, relationship concerns, grief and issues around self‑esteem. Sally works with practical problems like parenting strain and career worries alongside more painful experiences such as trauma, abuse and living with long‑term health conditions.

Sally uses a mix of approaches that are chosen to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how these affect feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Client‑centred work lets the person lead the pace of therapy and be heard without judgement.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and supportive. Sally explains ideas in plain language and helps people try small changes between meetings. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they seem helpful for focus or breaking habits.

She holds the NCPS credential, which is recorded as NCPS in her profile. Sally works from the United Kingdom and sees people in English, including clients outside the UK who wish to work internationally.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Booking and session timing are arranged after that, and subscription fees can be cancelled at any time.

How Sally’s approaches translate to online work

Sally uses Attachment‑Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape emotions and reactions; this can help with intimacy, grief and patterns that affect sleep. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to improve mood and rest. Client‑Centred Therapy creates space for a person to talk at their own pace while feeling listened to and respected.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sally will discuss what matters to the client and try approaches that match their goals and preferences. She checks in together about what is working and adjusts techniques as needed so therapy stays relevant.

The original profile did not list specific online formats, so please confirm the session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work on sleep patterns, anxiety and habit change from wherever they are, while the therapist and client collaborate on practical strategies and homework to support day‑to‑day routines.
