About Sally
NCPS. 3 years' experience. Sally Pinkus works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating problems, depression and many related concerns. She offers counselling for relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career questions. Sally also lists work with bipolar difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue among her practice areas.
Sally uses several approaches and adapts them to the person and the issue. She describes her practice using attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods, plus hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing. In sessions she prioritises clear discussion of what is worrying the client and practical ways to move forward.
People can expect a direct, conversational style. Sally aims to help clients understand patterns, notice thinking that gets in the way, and try different ways of responding. She may use guided reflection and practical exercises drawn from CBT and motivational interviewing to support change.
The work can address specific symptoms such as panic, sleep disruption or compulsive behaviour. It is also offered for broader problems like grief, low self-worth, or managing life changes. Additional focus areas listed include adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and cancer-related concerns.
Sally practises from the United Kingdom and offers services in English. International clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and behaviour. It helps people who notice repeated problems with trust, intimacy or core emotional responses.Client-centred counselling centres the conversation on the client's perspective. The counsellor listens, reflects what is said and supports the client to clarify their concerns and priorities without directing outcomes.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and compulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels practical, and then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as sessions progress.
The practical benefits of remote counselling should be confirmed before booking since session formats are not specified in the original biography. Ask which session formats are offered and how they fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
