Sally Pinkus, NCPS

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor and psychotherapist listed with NCPS who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. She also supports concerns around eating, sleep, intimacy, self-esteem and career changes. Many referrals relate to grief, relationship tension and parenting stress as well as neurodiversity and adoption issues.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sally uses client-centred conversation to understand each person’s needs. She combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Sessions begin by mapping what matters to the client and the problems they want to tackle. The work can include exploring attachment patterns, looking at early relationships and how these affect current behaviour. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to change habits such as substance use or eating patterns.

Hypnotherapy may be offered where appropriate to support relaxation, reduce anxiety and help with sleep problems. The therapist adapts the mix of approaches to each case rather than following a single method.

Sally brings three years of documented experience and practices in the United Kingdom. She works with people across many concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image and chronic illness-related issues. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Sally uses client-centred work to build a trusting conversation and to set goals that matter to the person. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s lead to clarify what to work on and how progress will be measured.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers straightforward tools to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviours that maintain distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and some forms of disordered eating by setting clear tasks and practising new skills between sessions.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current life. It can help people understand patterns in close relationships and why certain situations trigger strong emotional responses.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and adapt the plan as work progresses. Clients and the counsellor agree together what to focus on and how to measure small steps forward.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It also lets people choose setups that suit them, for example audio-only sessions where video is not wanted or longer video sessions when more in-depth work is helpful.
