She works with people dealing with addictions, LGBT-related challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, as well as relationship and family issues including intimacy concerns and coping with life changes.

Sana practices from a client-centered and existential perspective, helping clients explore personal values, meaning, and choice while prioritising empathy, respect and collaboration. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly and explored at the client’s pace. Seeking change often requires courage, and Sana frames her role as a supportive collaborator who empowers people to take the steps they choose toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sana draws on client-centered therapy and existential therapy to guide her work with clients. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and experiences lead the pace of change - it is particularly helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and addressing distress related to life transitions. Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, choice and responsibility, helping people navigate uncertainty, identity concerns, and deeper questions about values and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sana works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions over time and invites clients to reflect on what feels most useful so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments, and they allow registered professionals like Sana to reach clients both across the United Kingdom and internationally.
