Sabina Jugurnauth, ACA

Sabina Jugurnauth holds a Master in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Mauritius. She is currently completing an MA in Psychology - Clinical, and also holds ACA, a professional counselling association credential that reflects her commitment to ongoing professional development.

She has worked with diverse clients who have faced family and domestic violence, chronic pain, and people affected by road accidents. Sabina supports individuals coping with PTSD, depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges, offering practical strategies to manage stress, improve sleep and build healthier self-esteem. Her work also addresses workplace issues and life transitions, helping clients develop tools to navigate change more effectively.

Sabina brings a collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and partners with them to clarify goals, explore difficult material and foster personal growth. In couples work she focuses on transforming conflict into connection and helping partners recover a sense of closeness and purpose. Across individual and relationship work she aims to help clients unfold their personal story, break unhelpful patterns and create a tailored plan for lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Sabina draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening and supporting a person’s own capacity for growth, making it useful for issues like low self-esteem, adjustment to change and relationship concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression and stress management to produce clearer day-to-day strategies for coping.

Emotionally-focused therapy - EFT - informs her work with couples and attachment-related concerns by helping partners access and express underlying emotions and rebuild trust and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sabina works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, needs and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - so sessions can fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home and choose the format that feels most effective for ongoing work.
