About Sally
Sally Pinkus is a counsellor who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress and related concerns. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for issues such as addictions, grief, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Sally works with people facing life changes, parenting strains, sleep problems and workplace pressure.
She speaks English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries. Sally uses a mix of approaches and keeps sessions focused on what the person needs.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person’s experience and on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect current ones, and motivational interviewing supports change when someone is stuck. Sally holds the NCPS credential, which appears on her profile.
She has three years of recorded professional experience in counselling and psychotherapy. Her background includes supporting people with eating and food-related issues, bipolar and ADHD-related challenges, and surviving trauma or abuse. In sessions she aims to be warm and non-judgemental.
People are invited to talk at their own pace while Sally helps identify small, practical steps to try between meetings. The focus is on making things more manageable day to day. Work can be arranged online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to fit the person’s needs.

Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and tests small changes to see what helps. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck and needs help finding reasons to change and ways to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sally will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as work proceeds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth, messaging allows shorter check-ins between appointments, and video calls let visual cues guide the conversation. These options provide flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.
