About Sally

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship difficulty and a range of life challenges. She also supports people dealing with eating concerns, grief, parenting strains, intimacy issues, ADHD and matters related to LGBT identity. Sally holds NCPS and works from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English and to international clients.

Her way of working is practical and person‑centred. Sally listens first and then adapts methods to the individual. She uses Attachment‑Based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and Client‑Centred conversation to follow the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when tackling unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Sally aims for a warm, calm presence in sessions so people feel comfortable talking about hard things. She combines reflective listening with goal‑focused tools, and sometimes motivational interviewing to support change. Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic thinking also inform her work depending on the person’s needs.

With three years' experience under the NCPS credential, she supports people through life transitions, career stress, bereavement, body image and self‑esteem struggles, and long‑term coping issues such as compassion fatigue. Sally works with people affected by adoption and foster care, autism and neurodiversity, and survivors of domestic violence and abuse.

Sessions are arranged through the site process. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule with Sally according to her availability.

How Sally’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape how someone responds to stress and conflict; it helps people spot repeated patterns and change how they relate. Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience, using listening and reflection to help someone find their own answers and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sally will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to use. That conversation shapes whether sessions emphasise reflective exploration, practical exercises, or a mix of both.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It also lets people use techniques at home between sessions and brings the therapist’s tools into everyday life, which many find helpful when tackling stress, sleep problems, eating concerns and relationship patterns.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
