Sabine Kermani , BACP

Sabine Kermani brings a decade of training and practical experience across a range of psychological settings in both London and Hong Kong. She combines natural empathy and patient curiosity with a focus on empowering people to explore their concerns and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Registered with the BACP, a professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom, she is currently in the final year of a doctorate in Counselling Psychology and is conducting research on the Lived Experience of Romantic Obsession. She has developed in-depth knowledge and hands-on skills in Existential and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, together with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy.

Working in a pluralistic way, she draws from multiple theoretical approaches to tailor help to each person’s preferences and needs. She has supported children, adolescents and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties and challenges around eating and body image. Her experience spans community and hospital settings as well as private practice and NHS work, helping people to make sense of their past, understand their present and shape their future.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online support

Sabine draws on established methods to support people through online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be effective for issues like anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping patterns. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, values and personal responsibility, helping clients who are struggling with life transitions, identity or deeper questions about purpose. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early attachment experiences shape current ways of relating, which can be particularly useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sabine works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences and needs, and she adapts methods so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative stance helps identify what will be most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. These options increase accessibility for people in different locations and for those who prefer shorter or more frequent contact with licensed professionals and therapists.
