About Sanaa
BACP. 3 years of experience. Sanaa Baksh works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English and Arabic. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem and depression, and also addresses attachment, communication and control issues among other matters.
Sanaa trained in counselling with a BA Hons in Counselling and a Foundation Degree in Counselling Psychology. She also holds a Diploma in Islamic Counselling and has completed courses such as Basics of CBT: Essentials I from the Beck Institute. Her record lists additional training in areas including safeguarding children and adults, domestic abuse, autism awareness and suicide awareness.
In sessions she combines structured tools with open emotional exploration. That includes using cognitive behavioural ideas alongside humanistic principles to talk through thoughts, feelings and patterns. Sessions are paced to the individual, with an emphasis on clear steps and reflective conversation rather than jargon or lengthy theory.
Sanaa works with a broad range of life concerns beyond common mood problems. These include coping after disasters, immigration-related stress, hospice and end-of-life counselling, issues of guilt and shame, and problems linked to isolation or cultural adjustment. Panic attacks and panic disorder are also listed among her areas of focus.
Practical matters are straightforward: she uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling is offered
She uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside humanistic principles. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at links between thoughts, moods and actions and use practical steps to change patterns; these methods can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Humanistic-informed work focuses on listening and exploring feelings, helping people make sense of their values and motivations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then agree on techniques to try together. This is a collaborative process and may blend structured exercises with reflective discussion.
The profile does not specify exact session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and can reduce time spent on commuting. It also allows for different ways to meet, such as shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video, depending on what the service offers. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible formats to help clients maintain continuity of care and regular progress.
