About Sally
Sally Pinkus is a counsellor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, eating problems and low mood. She also supports those facing relationship strains, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues and career concerns. Sally works with a wide range of other struggles including ADHD, bipolar difficulties and compassion fatigue.
Sally takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. She listens first, then offers practical ways to manage symptoms.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to each person's needs and may include guided relaxation and talking therapies. Sally uses Hypnotherapy alongside talking approaches when it suits the client. Her way of working draws on client-centred methods and elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to build coping skills.
Motivational interviewing is used to help people find reasons to change and to set small steps forward. Attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking may be brought in when looking at long-standing patterns. Sally holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS in her profile.
She has around three years of experience in the field as recorded here. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she conducts sessions in English. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or messaging so people can choose what fits their life.
International clients are accepted. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions once a suitable match is made.

Online support
How Sally blends approaches online
Sally uses Hypnotherapy to help people access calm and reduce anxiety through guided relaxation and focused suggestion, which can be useful for sleep problems, stress and some habit changes. She also works with client-centred therapy, which means sessions begin with listening closely and following the person’s pace to decide what feels most helpful.Cognitive behavioural therapy is another key part of her practice and is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping skills. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and some eating concerns. Sally aims to match these methods to each person’s goals and needs rather than using a single fixed plan.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their situation and goals, reviewing progress and adjusting plans as needed. This helps people feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions suit those who prefer no camera or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when people need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel and family commitments.
