About Sabina
Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor with six years' clinical experience based in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Sabina also supports concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems.
She trained in psychotherapy and counselling, and completed a BSc (Hons) in Psychology before her master’s in Psychotherapy and Counselling. Sabina is currently completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical). Her background includes work with people affected by family and domestic violence, chronic pain and road accident trauma.
In sessions she treats clients as the experts in their own lives. She helps people define clear goals and choose practical steps to reach them. Conversations look at patterns that keep repeating and practical tools to change those patterns.
Sabina uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural ideas alongside narrative and existential perspectives. That combination helps when emotions are hard to name or when relationship patterns keep causing pain.
People who work with her can expect to practise new skills between sessions. She assists with stress management, sleep routines, coping strategies for chronic conditions, and communication skills for strained relationships. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what someone wants to change.
Sabina offers sessions in English and French. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange their first session through the booking process.
How Sabina uses EFT, client-centred work and CBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and the interaction patterns they create in relationships. It can help when feelings are hard to name and repeating cycles keep causing distress. Client-centred therapy centres on the person's own perspective, encouraging them to lead the pace and topics of sessions while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sabina will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion often happens in the first few appointments and can shift as goals change. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week. It can reduce travel time and help clients keep appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. Some session styles use video, others may use audio only or short check-ins; the exact options should be confirmed before booking. Practical benefits include easier scheduling, the ability to access therapy from different locations within Australia and flexibility to combine therapeutic tools with everyday life routines.Areas of expertise
