Sally Pinkus, NCPS

Sally Pinkus helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. She also supports concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, grief, self‑esteem, parenting strains and relationship and intimacy issues. Sally is listed with NCPS, which is shown after her name as a professional credential. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Sally uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people make steady changes. She listens and helps clients name the patterns that cause distress. From there she and the person set practical steps to manage symptoms, improve relationships and cope with life changes.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Hypnotherapy is one of the approaches she may offer for specific issues where it seems useful.

Sessions can cover a wide range of problems, including ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue and issues linked to adoption, foster care or neurodiversity. She is also able to work with people facing cancer, HIV/AIDS, bereavement, codependency and domestic violence aftermath.

Sally aims for clear, practical plans that fit daily life. She explains options in plain language and adjusts her approach to each person. The focus is on small, achievable steps and ongoing review so progress can be measured and changed when needed.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Sally commonly draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current emotions and relationship struggles; this approach helps when clients want to understand why they repeat certain behaviours. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to support people who feel stuck and want help making changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through the options, check what feels comfortable and agree a plan with the client. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques to the person's goals and pace of change.

Online therapy offers a range of practical formats: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or easier scheduling, live chat for shorter check-ins and text-based messaging for ongoing brief support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting or physical health needs and help maintain continuity when life gets busy.
