Sabina Miah, NCPS

Sabina Miah is a UK-based counsellor with eight years of direct counselling experience and more than two decades working across the mental health sector. She holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy - an honours bachelor degree in the subject - and is BACP-registered, meaning she meets professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She also holds NCPS as a professional credential and has training in online and telephone counselling to make support accessible by different formats.

Her core training is in client-centered practice, and she also uses solution-focused tools to help clients identify practical steps forward. Sabina adapts techniques from different models to meet each person where they are, shaping sessions around individual needs rather than a single method.

Across a variety of settings, from schools to specialist services, she has supported adults and young people facing anxiety, stress, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, bereavement, self-harm, low self-esteem and a broad range of other presenting issues. She works in private practice and has experience providing therapy through online services.

Bringing both professional experience and personal lived experience of adversity, Sabina aims to offer warmth, empathy and compassionate presence. She approaches each person as the expert in their own life and seeks to walk alongside them at a pace that feels right, helping to restore clarity, strength and small moments of relief when change feels difficult.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sabina works from a client-centered perspective, which focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the individual and creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach helps when someone needs to rebuild self-understanding, self-esteem or emotional resilience. She also uses solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on identifying practical steps and small, achievable changes to move toward a preferred future; this can be helpful for tackling specific problems like stress, relationship difficulties or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Sabina discusses options with each person, considers their goals and preferences, and adapts techniques so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their care and choosing what feels most useful.

Online therapy with Sabina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without long travel, and allow therapy to continue across life transitions and changing routines while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional who can tailor the work to each client.
