About Sally

Sally Pinkus is a counsellor who supports people facing midlife concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, grief and career change. Sally holds NCPS as a credential and practises from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English and to international clients.

Sally’s way of working is straightforward and conversational. She listens first, then helps people name what feels off and decide on small steps. Sessions focus on practical tools and clearer thinking, alongside space to understand feelings and past patterns.

Her approach can include client-centred listening, psychodynamic ideas about how earlier relationships affect today, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts. Motivational interviewing may be used to build momentum for change, and hypnotherapy can be offered when appropriate.

With three years of experience, Sally aims to make the room calm and direct. She encourages realistic goals and checks progress each week. People often work on symptoms such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, or addictive behaviours while also addressing underlying issues like guilt, shame or dissociation.

Getting started is simple: choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Session costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sally draws on client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing in her practice. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers, which can help with low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people find reasons to make changes, often useful for addressing addiction or career transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Sally will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that match each person's goals and preferences. She adjusts tone and pace as needed and checks in regularly to make sure the work remains helpful.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people who live abroad or have limited time between commitments, while still allowing focused therapeutic work using the approaches above.
