About Sana
Sana Fatima is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strains, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and stress. She offers a calm, respectful approach and speaks English, Hindi and Urdu, which can help people from different backgrounds feel understood. She frames sessions around each person’s priorities and adapts the conversation to fit practical needs.
Sana uses straightforward tools and conversation rather than jargon. She aims to support people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, LGBT issues and intimacy-related problems.
Background and approach
With four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she brings a few established therapeutic ways of working to sessions. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred approaches among others. Sana describes therapy as a collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
In practice she helps people talk through painful moments, set manageable goals and try new ways of responding to stress and difficult feelings. She also supports people facing life changes such as separation, adoption and immigration-related stresses. People choosing to work with her start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, so ongoing scheduling and cost can be adjusted as needs change.

How Sana’s approaches translate to online work
Sana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take small steps toward what matters. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sana will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and will adapt strategies as progress is reviewed.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Discussing practical arrangements early helps ensure sessions fit into everyday life and the goals someone brings to therapy.
