About Sabina

Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor with six years' clinical experience in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and people coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and French and she uses a collaborative, person-focused approach.

Sabina trained with a Master in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and has a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Mauritius. She is also completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical). Her background includes work with people affected by family and domestic violence, chronic pain, and road accidents.

In sessions she treats the person, not just the problem. Conversations explore the patterns that keep causing stress or conflict. She uses practical techniques for managing stress, improving sleep, and building self-esteem alongside longer conversations about relationship patterns and attachment.

Sabina helps people untangle repetitive family-of-origin patterns and work through attachment concerns. With couples she focuses on turning conflict into clearer connection and restoring closeness when commitment or communication have broken down.

Her way of working mixes short-term skills with deeper reflection. Some sessions focus on practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods. Others draw on narrative and existential ideas to rethink life choices and personal meaning.

People can expect a collaborative style where goals are set together and progress is regularly reviewed. To begin, clients follow the platform matching steps and schedule a first session to agree on priorities and methods.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Sabina uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the client's perspective and goals. This approach involves open conversation and active listening so the client leads what matters most, which helps with self-esteem and decision-making.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress management and can include short exercises between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. People often find they can schedule appointments around work or caregiving commitments more easily when sessions are remote, while still working through deeper relationship and family-of-origin patterns with an appropriately qualified therapist.
