Sabine Kermani offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and body image concerns, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, grief and a range of relationship and family difficulties. She is comfortable helping people who identify as LGBT and those dealing with attachment or abandonment concerns.
Sabine brings a calm, curious presence to sessions and aims to empower people to find clearer ways forward. She trained and practised across London and Hong Kong over thirteen years.
Background and approach
Sabine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP, and is in the final year of a doctorate in counselling psychology researching the lived experience of romantic obsession. Sabine works pluralistically, mixing methods to match what each person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on values and get unstuck from avoidance. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Existential thinking is brought in when questions of meaning, choice and identity are central.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative, with a focus on real-life steps between meetings. Sabine has experience across community, hospital, personal and NHS settings. That background informs practical planning and gentle exploration in therapy.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients by online formats.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, committed actions that reflect those values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses, mixing practical tools with deeper reflection when needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit people who prefer face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing notes between sessions or when someone prefers typing to talking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to whichever format works best for the person.
