Sabine Kermani , BACP

Sabine Kermani has a decade of training and professional experience working across London and Hong Kong, bringing a calm, curious, and patient presence to therapeutic work. She combines natural empathy with a focus on empowering people to explore their difficulties and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Sabine is currently in the final year of her doctorate in Counselling Psychology, undertaking research on the Lived Experience of Romantic Obsession. Her academic work complements a strong practical background and informs a thoughtful, reflective approach to therapy.

She has developed in-depth knowledge and practical skills in Existential and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, alongside training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). Sabine works pluralistically, drawing on a range of theoretical approaches to tailor the work to each person’s preferences and needs.

Her experience spans work with children, adolescents, and adults presenting with depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, and concerns about eating and body image. Sabine has supported people in community and hospital settings, and within both private and NHS sectors, helping individuals make sense of their past, navigate the present, and consider possibilities for the future.

Therapeutic Approaches Available in Online Sessions

Sabine integrates several well-established approaches in her online work to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used to address anxiety, low mood, stress, and some patterns linked to eating and substance use. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, values, choice, and identity, supporting people who struggle with purpose, grief, or relationship dilemmas. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and broader relationship or family difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sabine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts the blend of approaches as the work evolves.

Online therapy with Sabine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to connect across locations, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
