Babita Sareen-Flora, BACP

Babita Sareen-Flora offers calm, practical support for people coping with life’s ups and downs. She helps with common concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues like addiction, parenting strain, body image and long-term health challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and she accepts international clients.

Babita brings eight years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted on her profile. She keeps the focus on building a trusting relationship where people can speak openly and be heard. Her starting point is always to understand the person sitting across from her and what they hope to change.

Her approach combines several methods to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centred ways of listening, attachment-informed ideas about relationships, and practical cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also draws on emotionally-focused work for relationship issues and EMDR for trauma-related memories when appropriate.

In sessions she aims to create a straightforward space for talking, trying things out and learning new ways to cope. She will outline options and invite feedback so the plan fits the client’s life and goals. Practical tools and small experiments are offered alongside talking, depending on what helps.

People who want to start are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Babita uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas in her work. Attachment-based approaches focus on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and help people notice and change unhelpful interaction habits. Client-centred work emphasises listening and creating a respectful space where the person sets the pace and topics. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and include practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options, explain what each approach involves and invite the client to try methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Treatment choices are reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something is not helpful.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote work - for example CBT homework and problem-solving can be set between sessions, and attachment or emotionally-focused conversations can be carried out by video or phone depending on preference. Registered or accredited professionals tailor the format and pace to suit each person’s life.
