Babita Sareen-Flora, BACP

Babita Sareen-Flora is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She speaks English and Hindi and helps people facing things like anxiety, depression, relationship issues and grief. Babita also supports those dealing with trauma, addictions, parenting stress and work-related strain. Her approach centres on building a strong working relationship. She aims to make people feel heard and understood so they can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside space to reflect. Babita uses a mix of methods chosen to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to the person. She also uses cognitive techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. For people who have experienced trauma or distressing memories, she may use eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing to reduce the intensity of those memories. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas also inform her work with relationship and intimacy concerns. She offers sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and is able to work with international clients. Costs vary with location and are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and books according to therapist availability.

How Babita's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions; it helps people understand patterns in intimacy and trust. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and gives space to be listened to without pressure, which can be valuable during times of loss or stress. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Babita works collaboratively to find what fits. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then adapt methods as therapy progresses so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter ongoing contact between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still following the chosen therapeutic approach.
