Babita Sareen-Flora , BACP

Babita Sareen-Flora is a counsellor who helps people dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety and other life stresses. She works in English and Hindi and draws on eight years of experience supporting people through mood changes, trauma and intimacy concerns. Her practice suits those wanting a calm, steady listener who will help them make sense of difficult feelings.

She tailors sessions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That means conversations might focus on feelings, patterns in relationships, or practical steps to change thoughts and behaviour. Babita emphasises a strong therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and respected.

Her work includes support for people facing addiction, bipolar mood challenges, sleep or eating struggles, and parenting pressures. She also helps with attachment difficulties, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and the stress that comes from caregiving or chronic illness.

Babita uses a mix of client-centred methods, cognitive work, emotionally-focused techniques and trauma approaches when they fit the situation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her repertoire for trauma-related work. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text, which lets people choose what works best for them.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. Babita accepts international clients and adapts her approach to each person’s needs, aiming to help them manage emotions, improve relationships and find clearer ways forward.

Approaches that suit online work

Babita commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when someone struggles with trust, intimacy and repeating relational hurts. Client-Centred Therapy is also central to her practice and focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s pace so people feel understood and able to explore their feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a joint process - the therapist and the client consider goals and preferences and agree what to try first, then adapt as work progresses.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter and the conversation needs depth. Phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, homework discussion or when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint helps maintain progress. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these formats so people can fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
