How Sanaa works online
She also works from humanistic principles that focus on understanding the person's experience and values. This helps when people need space to talk through emotions, identity and life purpose without feeling rushed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels useful, try techniques, and adapt plans based on goals and what the client prefers. It is a collaborative process intended to find the best fit for each person.
The biography mentions online counselling training but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the exact online options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time and use shorter or longer sessions to match schedules. It can also allow some people to use phone or video depending on what they find most comfortable, though the available formats should be checked before arranging appointments.
