Sabrina Marsh , NCPS

Sabrina Marsh is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and related struggles. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way so people can speak honestly about what hurts. Sabrina brings ten years of experience to sessions and holds the NCPS credential. Her sessions start by listening to what led someone to seek help and what matters most to them. She uses a clear, collaborative approach so clients set the pace and practical goals. Techniques often include cognitive-behavioural strategies and mindfulness exercises to reduce distress and build coping skills. For grief and bereavement Sabrina offers structured, compassionate work. That can include therapeutic writing, meaning-making exercises, and ways to manage strong emotions after loss. She also supports people facing cancer-related loss and the strain experienced by caregivers. When trauma, abuse or compassion fatigue are present she works sensitively and with attention to safety. Psychodynamic ideas and hypnotherapy may be brought in where helpful to understand patterns and soothe the body’s response to stress. Sabrina also helps with self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, addictions, ADHD and women's issues. Her style is practical and plainspoken - aiming to leave people with clearer steps forward and tools they can use day to day.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Sabrina commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client’s pace; it helps people feel heard and make sense of their own choices. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy in sessions to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and increase emotional regulation. These approaches suit grief, anxiety, trauma responses and day-to-day coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about options, try different methods and adjust based on what the client needs and prefers. That collaborative process helps shape goals and the mix of techniques used. Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, quick coping exercises or people who prefer typed communication. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
