Sally Pinkus, NCPS

Sally Pinkus is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who combines client-focused care with a practical, outcomes-oriented approach. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional registration that reflects her commitment to ethical practice and ongoing development.

Sally works with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, OCD, substance misuse, eating disorders and relationship difficulties. She emphasises recovery and progression, and her practice is centred on helping people move forward from difficult moments toward clearer coping and improved day-to-day functioning.

Her therapeutic style blends person-centred warmth with psychodynamic insight, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies. Sally adapts methods to fit each individual and concern, tailoring sessions to the client rather than forcing a single model. Clients have reported feeling at ease in her presence, and she describes herself as non-judgemental and keen to support people from all walks of life through challenging periods.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Sally uses client-centred work to place the individual's experience at the heart of therapy, creating a supportive space where personal goals and choices steer the process. This approach is helpful for people seeking empathy, clearer self-understanding and improved relationships.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and learning practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood and stress. CBT is often used when clients want concrete tools to change how they feel and act.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sally works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She views therapy as a partnership and adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Sally is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are difficult.
