About Sana

Sana Fatima is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and grief. She speaks English, Hindi and Urdu and accepts international clients. Sana presents a calm, respectful approach and focuses on tailoring sessions to each person's needs.

Sana uses a mix of talking-based approaches to support people through change. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build different habits.

Client-Centred Therapy is part of her work, which means she prioritises empathetic listening and helps clients lead the pace and direction of their sessions. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when addressing closeness and intimacy issues, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Sana has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to empower people to make practical changes, whether that means improving communication, coping with loss, or managing stress and anxiety.

Her style is respectful and sensitive, with a focus on concrete steps and everyday language. People who want collaborative, approachable support for life transitions and emotional strain may find her easy to work with.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that align with those values. It often involves small practical exercises and noticing what gets in the way of action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviours to change how someone feels. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on warm listening and letting the client lead the pace and focus of sessions, which can help build trust and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them fit therapy into their week, make it easier to attend during work breaks, and reduce travel time. Online work can also allow short check-ins when time is limited or offer longer sessions when more space is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversations for an online setting to keep progress moving forward.
