About Sabine
Sabine Kermani is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She supports those struggling with eating and body image, addiction, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. Sabine also works with people dealing with grief, relationship and family concerns, and LGBT-related matters.
She uses a practical, pluralistic approach, drawing on different methods to suit each person. Conversations are client-led and paced to what feels manageable. Sabine aims to help people make sense of their past and find ways to move forward in the present.
Background and approach
Sabine holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has 13 years of experience working across community, hospital, personal and NHS settings in London and Hong Kong. Her background includes work with children, adolescents and adults on depression, anxiety, substance use and eating difficulties.
Her practice draws on Existential therapy to explore meaning and values, alongside cognitive behavioural tools to address thinking and behaviour. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening help shape the relationship in sessions. Sabine is completing a doctorate in Counselling Psychology, researching the lived experience of romantic obsession.
Sessions focus on clear, everyday language and practical steps. Sabine seeks to empower people through curiosity, steady pacing and collaborative planning. International clients can be seen in English via online formats.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sabine uses Existential therapy to help people think about meaning, choices and what matters to them. This approach is useful when life feels uncertain or when someone is struggling with big questions about identity, purpose or values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another method she draws on; ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she views relationships and emotional bonds, helping when patterns from early relationships keep affecting current connections.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sabine explores each person’s goals, preferences and life circumstances to decide which methods to use together. Over a few sessions she and the client review what helps and adapt the plan as needed so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video works well for fuller conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can fit short check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging or live chat suit quick reflections or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and to continue support when in different locations.
