About Sana

BACP. 4 years of experience. Sana Fatima works with people on relationship and parenting difficulties, self-esteem and confidence, career concerns, stress and anxiety, and other life changes including grief and trauma.

Sana uses several counselling approaches to help people talk through current problems and make practical changes. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy. Sessions focus on the client's priorities and on exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours that get in the way of what they want.

Her work includes support for issues such as addictions, intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue and depression. There is also attention to specific areas like abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture where relevant to the person.

Sana also addresses relationship breakdown, blended family issues, infidelity, immigration-related stress, end-of-life and hospice concerns, hoarding, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. She aims to help people develop clearer perspectives and practical steps they can use between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu. Sana works with clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and membership model; sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sana uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions where a person wants clearer action despite uncomfortable feelings.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what a person says to help them gain clarity and confidence in their decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and problems with confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sana will discuss the methods that could help based on a person’s goals, preferences and what emerges in early sessions. The choice of approach can change as needs evolve and she works collaboratively to agree what to try.

Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are busy. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain regular contact and support practical steps between meetings.
