Sally Pinkus, NCPS

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and living with health challenges. She supports people dealing with addictions, trauma, eating concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and sleep problems. Sally also works with concerns such as parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress and coping with life changes.

Sally uses a mix of talking therapies tailored to each person. She draws on client-centred work that focuses on the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and actions and to build practical coping steps.

Her approach pays attention to attachment and the ways early relationships shape present difficulties. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when people want to change habits or tackle addictions. Hypnotherapy may be offered as a complementary technique to support relaxation and focus.

Sally holds the NCPS credential, which appears with her name as provided. She has three years of experience in this field and works with people from many backgrounds, including those affected by adoption, autism, cancer, HIV and other specific life challenges listed in her profile.

People wanting to begin can expect a straightforward process to match them with Sally. She aims to be warm and non-judgemental and to create a calm space where practical steps and personal understanding are both addressed.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence how they relate now; this can help with intimacy issues, family patterns and emotional wounds. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's pace, which can be useful for building trust and self-understanding in sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replaces them with practical strategies for coping and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss each person's concerns and goals and try different methods as needed. This is a collaborative process where the choice of techniques evolves from the client's needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or offering options that suit differing internet bandwidth or camera preferences. Many people find that talking from a convenient location helps them attend more consistently and apply strategies between sessions.
