Sanaa Baksh

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello, I’m Sanaa.

I know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting. You might wonder if you’re ready, uncertain where to begin, or nervous about opening up. These feelings are valid, and you’re not alone in them.
I understand this because I’ve seen, time and again, how transformative therapy can be. I believe that healing happens when we feel truly seen and heard—that moment when someone holds space for you without judgment, when you realise you don’t have to carry everything alone. That’s why I do this work.

Seeking support is an act of courage, a commitment to yourself and your growth. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about creating room for reflection, healing, and transformation. In our sessions, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you—no pressure, no rush—just a safe and welcoming space where you can bring your thoughts and emotions as they are. I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with humanistic principles, balancing structured tools with deep emotional exploration. I also recognise that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—our histories, identities, and cultures shape how we experience the world. I am committed to creating a space where those complexities are honoured.

You don’t have to face everything alone. Whatever brings you here—whether you’re ready to dive in or just testing the waters—I’m here to walk alongside you, every step of the way.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people question whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person work.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with their therapist in the way that suits them best – by video call, on the phone, via live chat, or through in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

All therapists are licensed professionals, and it is possible to switch therapists at any time if a different fit is preferred.
