About Sabina
Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor with six years' clinical experience based in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes, including issues linked to abandonment and attachment. Sessions are offered in English and French and focus on practical steps as well as understanding difficult feelings like guilt and shame.
Sabina frames clients as the experts in their own lives. She works collaboratively to set goals and make decisions about therapy. Conversations are direct and plain: identify patterns, try techniques, and weigh what helps in everyday life.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods to keep the person’s perspective central. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform work on connection and communication in relationships.
Sabina also weaves narrative and existential perspectives when exploring life meaning, identity and past events that linger. This can help when people feel stuck in repeat patterns or overwhelmed by regret. She offers skills for stress management, sleep difficulties and low self-esteem, and workable strategies for coping with chronic illness or caregiver strain.
Her background includes a Master in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Mauritius. She is completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical). Work with people affected by family or domestic violence, road accidents and chronic pain is part of her experience.
To begin, Sabina asks clients to clarify what they want to change and then to try steps that feel manageable. The emphasis is on noticing small shifts and building practical skills alongside exploring deeper concerns such as guilt and shame.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Sabina draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to shape online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy means conversations begin with the person’s priorities and experience, helping them name what matters. CBT provides practical tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to shift mood and behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people express and respond to strong feelings more clearly.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sabina collaborates with clients to test approaches that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress and needs become clearer. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant to real-life problems such as guilt, grief, relationship tension or sleep disruption.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Sabina uses these approaches to focus on actions people can try between sessions as well as on understanding the themes that keep returning.
