Sally Pinkus, NCPS

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma. She also supports those facing depression, eating and sleeping problems, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges such as ADHD, bipolar disorder and career change. Sally works with many complex life concerns including adoption and foster care, autism, body image, cancer, and bereavement. She is identified by the NCPS credential, which appears after her name. Sally uses a flexible, person-centred approach in sessions. She adapts methods to suit each person and their situation. That can mean drawing on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, motivational interviewing or hypnotherapy depending on the issue and what the client prefers. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. People can expect to talk about their day-to-day struggles and try practical steps that are manageable between meetings. The emphasis is on finding realistic changes that fit into family life, work routines and personal rhythms. Sally has three years of experience working as a counsellor and psychotherapist. She has a background helping people with addictions, domestic violence, dissociation and codependency, and with long-term concerns such as chronic illness and HIV. She sees people in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you plan to start, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how you will meet.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sally draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This helps when people want to understand why they react strongly in close relationships or struggle with trust. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to ease symptoms like anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sally will discuss which methods match a person's goals and day-to-day life, and adapt plans as progress is made. The process is collaborative so clients help shape which techniques are tried. Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the profile does not specify them. Online work can help fit therapy into busy schedules and reduce travel time, making it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simple to choose a quieter time or place for a session. Registered or accredited professionals often use these flexible options to support continuity of care and make therapeutic work easier to maintain alongside daily commitments.
