About Sally
Sally Pinkus helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. She also supports those coping with eating concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem and career stress. Sally works with people concerned about ADHD, bipolar mood issues and compassion fatigue.
She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Sally uses approaches drawn from attachment work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques.
Background and approach
She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations are focused on what is happening now and on small steps a person can try between meetings. Sally holds the NCPS credential.
NCPS is shown as the qualification on her profile. She brings three years of experience to her counselling work and adapts methods to each person's needs. Her way of working is collaborative and calm.
She listens first, then offers ideas and tools that fit the person's goals. Some people work on changing thoughts and behaviour, while others explore relationship patterns and underlying feelings. People considering therapy are invited to pick the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
The questionnaire helps match needs and availability before scheduling. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sally works online
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. CBT tends to be goal-focused and practical, which can suit issues like anxiety, low mood and some sleep or eating problems. Choosing the right approach is collaborative and starts in the first few sessions. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match the person's needs.
The profile did not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can meet with a registered or accredited professional from another location when that suits their circumstances.
