About Sanaa
Sanaa Baksh is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She invites people to take the first step when they feel uncertain or overwhelmed, and she aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be brought as they are. Sanaa keeps sessions paced to each person’s comfort and meets people with patience and respect.
She draws on a mix of structured and exploratory ways of working, including cognitive behavioural approaches alongside humanistic principles.
Background and approach
That means practical tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts, combined with time to reflect on emotions and personal values. Her background includes formal counselling qualifications and additional certificates in online counselling and trauma-related areas. Sanaa has three years of professional experience and holds BACP.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports issues such as attachment and communication problems, panic attacks, isolation, grief, immigration-related stress and coping after disaster. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Online formats are used to make counselling more flexible for people juggling work, family or health demands. People who choose Sanaa often want a practical and empathetic approach. She encourages collaboration on goals and adapts tools to fit each person’s culture, identity and life circumstances.

Online support
The right approach is usually found together. Sanaa will work collaboratively to pick techniques that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying short structured exercises at first, then moving to deeper reflection, or mixing both across sessions to suit how someone is progressing.
Online counselling offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or fitting counselling into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments.
