Sabine Kermani, BACP

She brings a decade of training and practical experience across a wide range of psychological settings in both London and Hong Kong. Known for a naturally empathetic and patient stance, she combines curiosity with a focus on empowering people as they explore their difficulties and goals.

She is registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is in the final year of a doctorate in Counselling Psychology, where her research explores the lived experience of romantic obsession. Her work is informed by in-depth knowledge and hands-on application of existential and psychodynamic approaches alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and compassion focused methods.

Working pluralistically, she draws on multiple theoretical perspectives to match the approach to each person’s preferences and needs. She has supported children, adolescents and adults presenting with depression, anxiety, substance misuse, relationship difficulties and challenges around eating and body image. Her experience spans community and hospital settings as well as private practice and the NHS, helping people make sense of their past, understand their present and create meaning as they move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out different behaviours, CBT can support people struggling with anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with eating and self-image.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice what matters most to them and to take committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and emotions. This approach can be useful for managing stress, rumination and persistent worries.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns shape how a person connects with others. It is often helpful for people dealing with intimacy problems, abandonment-related concerns and recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences and may integrate techniques from several approaches to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic skills across these formats, increasing accessibility for people who prefer remote sessions or who live in different locations.
