About Sana
Sana Fatima is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are carrying guilt or shame alongside relationship, parenting, self‑esteem, career and stress concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, intimacy issues, depression and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu.
Sana uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people clarify their concerns. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and values. She also uses Client‑Centered and Emotionally‑Focused ideas to explore feelings in relationships.
In practice she works with practical steps as well as reflection. This can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, noticing how actions link to values, and trying small experiments between sessions. She also talks through relationship patterns and communication habits when those are part of the problem.
Sana has spent time helping people with complex life changes such as separation, adoption and immigration challenges. She lists additional focus areas including abandonment, forgiveness, hoarding, end‑of‑life concerns and issues around kink and alternative sexual cultures.
Her approach combines talking therapies with tools from narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of their past and present. The emphasis is on working together to find what fits the person’s situation and goals, with clear steps to try between meetings.
How Sana blends approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and taking actions that align with those values. It can help when guilt or shame gets in the way of doing things that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying concrete experiments to change them. Client‑Centered Therapy emphasises listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It is often used alongside other methods to help people feel heard while they try new ways of responding. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sana will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try approaches that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses. The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible scheduling to match everyday life, and sessions can focus on skills, relationship patterns or values‑based actions depending on what the client wants to address.Areas of expertise
