Sabrina Faulkner, NCPS

Sabrina Faulkner is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the challenges of living with a long-term health condition. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, sleep difficulties, and issues around self-esteem and sexuality. Sabrina works with individuals who want practical ways to cope and clearer ways to make decisions.

Sabrina studied psychology and holds a diploma in hypnotherapy, and she lists NCPS as a credential. She works from a humanistic stance and aims to build a respectful, sensitive space for each person. Her sessions are adapted to what each client needs rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.

In sessions she draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy where appropriate to support relaxation and focus. She describes an existential perspective as part of her work when people are facing big life questions or decisions.

Sabrina combines private practice work with volunteering, and she has written for a general audience. Her approach is practical and conversational; she aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier. People who come for therapy with her can expect the counsellor to tailor the dialogue and plan to their needs.

For anyone juggling health issues, caregiving, or intense life transitions, Sabrina emphasises steadiness, respect, and simple tools to cope. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether her style and practical focus feel like a fit before booking.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Sabrina commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and understanding what matters to the person, which helps people feel heard and build confidence to make changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way, and teaches simple, practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the exact online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, as it removes travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets and hypnotherapy techniques in the moment, which some find helpful when managing long-term health challenges or daily stressors.
