Sabina Jugurnauth , ACA

Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. She draws on six years of clinical experience to offer practical tools and clear steps. Sessions are offered in English and French for people based in Australia.

Sabina keeps therapy focused and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and works together with them to set goals. Conversations aim to uncover patterns, build coping skills and make choices that fit everyday life.

Her work includes support for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image and caregiver stress. She also has experience with chronic pain, chronic illness and cancer-related adjustment, and with people affected by domestic violence, divorce and separation.

Sabina uses a mix of approaches to match what the person needs. She draws on client-centred methods to listen deeply, cognitive behavioural ideas for practical coping strategies, and emotionally focused work to address relationship difficulties. Narrative and existential perspectives help people reframe their story and find meaning after loss or big changes.

People can expect skills-focused sessions that include talking, practical exercises and follow-up suggestions. Sabina works with couples to rebuild connection and with individuals to improve sleep, manage workplace stress and strengthen self-esteem. Therapy aims to be relevant and doable between sessions.

How therapy styles translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. In online sessions this looks like open, non-judgemental conversation that helps you clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online CBT often includes worksheets, short experiments and homework that fit into daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and reshape the emotional patterns that affect relationships. Over video or phone, EFT can guide couples or individuals to name emotions and try different ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is something to work on together. The therapist will check your needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit you. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made or new issues come up.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while using the therapeutic tools and exercises discussed in sessions.
