About Sally

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing addictions, trauma, eating and intimacy-related issues. Sally lists adoption and foster care among her additional focus areas and aims to offer practical support for those particular concerns.

Sally uses a mix of approaches that are chosen with each person in mind. She draws on client-centred work to build a respectful, listening space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, where appropriate, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.

Her listed credential is NCPS, which stands for a recognised professional registration in counselling and psychotherapy. Sally has three years of experience in this role and describes a warm, non-judgemental style that helps people feel at ease when they talk.

Sessions are geared to the issue in front of the client. That may mean practical steps to change habits, time to talk through painful memories, or coaching around life transitions. Sally also lists motivational interviewing and hypnotherapy among her approaches, which she may use where relevant.

She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, career worries and compassion fatigue. People considering support are encouraged to read her profile and follow the site process to begin a match.

Approaches and online working with Sally

Sally lists Client-Centred Therapy as a core part of her work. This approach focuses on listening and understanding, so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them. It helps when someone needs a steady space to talk through difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is another approach she uses. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems where brief, structured work can bring relief.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Sally will help clients decide which approach feels most useful based on their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help maintain continuity of care for people living abroad, as international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often adapt these approaches effectively for remote work.
