About
Sanaa Baksh recognises that taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting. People often wonder if they are ready, feel uncertain where to begin, or feel nervous about opening up; these reactions are understandable and common.
She has seen how therapy can be transformative and believes that healing begins when a person feels truly seen and heard - when someone holds space without judgement and the weight of doing everything alone is eased. That sense of being understood is central to why she works in this field.
Seeking support is an act of courage and a commitment to personal growth. Therapy is not about having all the answers; it is about creating room for reflection, healing, and change. In sessions she works at a pace that feels right for each person - no pressure and no rush - offering a safe, welcoming environment where clients can bring their thoughts and feelings as they are. She combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with humanistic principles, balancing structured tools with deeper emotional exploration.
Sanaa is mindful that histories, identities, and cultures influence how people experience the world, and she is committed to creating a space that honours those complexities.
She has 3 years of experience and is based in the United Kingdom. Her training and qualifications include a BA Hons Degree in Counselling, a Foundation Degree in Counselling Psychology, Basics of CBT: Essentials I from the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, an Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service), Online Counselling training, a Certificate (Level 2) in Counselling Skills, a Certificate (Level 3) in Counselling Studies, a Diploma in Islamic counselling (علم النفس الإسلامي), Autism Awareness training, a Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People, Domestic Abuse training, GDPR Awareness, Mental Capacity training, Mental Health Awareness, Safeguarding Adults (Level 3), Safeguarding Children (Level 3), Suicide Awareness, and Supporting People with a Learning Disability - Tier 1.
Clients do not have to face everything alone. Whether someone is ready to dive in or simply testing the waters, Sanaa is available to walk alongside them 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.
