About Babita

Babita Sareen-Flora is a counsellor registered with the BACP in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, stress, anxiety and addiction. She also supports people facing parenting strains, intimacy and body image issues, ADHD, and the practical and emotional effects of life changes.

Her sessions aim to help people name and understand painful emotions and recurring patterns. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas to focus on feelings and how they show up in relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques and EMDR are also part of her approach when they suit someone’s needs.

Babita keeps things straightforward in sessions. She listens, reflects back what she hears and works with each person to find ways forward. Conversations may include practical tools, looking at unhelpful thinking, and processing difficult memories where appropriate.

Her background emphasises building a strong therapeutic relationship first. That relationship becomes the place where people can talk about abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family concerns or chronic illness and caring stress. She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems and sexual intimacy difficulties.

Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and Babita works with international clients. People who are considering her work are asked to follow the site’s booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Babita lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as a core approach; EFT focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and interactional patterns that affect close relationships. It can help when feelings are hard to name or when recurring relationship behaviours cause distress.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centred Therapy is another strand of her work and centres on listening, reflection and helping people feel understood so they can explore their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first, adjusting the plan as sessions progress. That conversation is part of the initial meeting rather than a fixed promise about which method will be used.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For practical reasons people sometimes prefer phone calls when bandwidth is low, or video when visual cues matter; these choices help therapy fit everyday life rather than the other way round.
