About Sana

Sana Fatima is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. She works with clients on anxiety, stress, depression and grief, and supports those managing trauma, addiction and compassion fatigue. Sana aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable and respectful.

Sana uses a tailored approach in sessions. She adapts conversations and methods to suit each person's needs and goals. Her style is compassionate and sensitive, and she focuses on helping people feel more confident and capable in everyday life.

Over four years of practice have given her experience with a wide range of issues. These include intimacy-related concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and complications around divorce or blended families. She also works with people facing immigration challenges, hospice and end-of-life questions, and complicated feelings like guilt or shame.

Her work draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Narrative and Client-Centred approaches. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try new ways of coping, and tell a clearer story about what matters to them. The aim is practical change rather than labels.

Sana is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers therapy in English, Hindi and Urdu, and accepts international clients. To begin a therapy match, users follow the site process to connect and arrange sessions.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Sana commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values, which can help with motivation, grief and life changes. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which often eases anxiety, stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try together. Sessions can be reviewed and adjusted as the client notices what feels most useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so clients should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. They also allow people to use a preferred language, such as English, Hindi or Urdu, with the same therapeutic focus on practical steps and clearer ways of coping.
