About Sanaa

Sanaa Baksh is a counsellor who works from a compassionate, person-centred stance. She draws on three years of hands-on experience and offers sessions in English and Arabic. Sanaa aims to make the first step easier by creating a calm space where people can talk without pressure and move at their own pace.

Sanaa uses practical tools alongside listening and reflection. Her background includes a BA Honours degree in Counselling and a foundation degree in Counselling Psychology, and she has training in basic Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from the Beck Institute.

Background and approach

She balances structured techniques with time to explore feelings and personal history. Many people come to her with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family concerns or low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with panic attacks, attachment difficulties, communication or control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Sanaa offers help with culturally sensitive topics such as immigration and multicultural concerns, and with life-stage challenges like hospice and end-of-life matters. Sessions can take different forms depending on what suits the person. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.

Sanaa describes starting therapy as a collaborative process where goals are agreed together. Her approach is steady and practical. She helps people identify patterns, try small changes, and build coping strategies.

People can expect clear, plain conversation aimed at tangible steps forward.

Practical approaches for online counselling and flexible sessions

Sanaa uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to help people manage problems and build coping skills. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers straightforward tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours; it can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Humanistic, person-centred work focuses on listening and creating space to talk, which can help when people feel unheard or disconnected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options, test what feels useful, and agree goals that match the person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text options work well for shorter check-ins or when flexibility is needed during a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions around work, childcare and other commitments.
