About Sally

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of experience in practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, anger, relationship difficulties and more. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Sally uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions. She uses client-centred techniques to keep conversations focused on the person's priorities. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test different responses.

In practical work she helps people spot triggers, try new coping steps, and practice alternatives to habitual reactions. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they suit a person's goals. The choice of method is discussed together rather than imposed.

Sally has experience with a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, ADHD, bipolar, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also works with matters linked to adoption and foster care, autism, body image, cancer, codependency, and substance issues.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button. This helps match goals to approach before the first meeting.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and important relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how people respond to anger and to practice different ways of connecting or setting boundaries in real life.

Client-centred therapy gives the person space to set the agenda and talk through what matters most. In online meetings this approach supports straightforward conversation about triggers, values and practical steps to reduce reactivity.

Cognitive behavioural techniques break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps. Online sessions can guide short experiments, record patterns between meetings, and introduce simple exercises to change automatic responses.

Finding the best mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That discussion can happen in an initial session and evolve over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, fewer travel requirements, quicker check-ins between commitments, and flexibility around timing. These practical benefits help people practise new responses in everyday settings without promising any particular outcome.
