About Sana

Sana Fatima welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps. She offers calm, straightforward support for relationship worries, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career crossroads and common mental health concerns. Sana writes and speaks in English, Hindi and Urdu, and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sana uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what matters to the individual. Sessions are shaped around each person's goals and pace. She combines this with practical tools from therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when those methods fit the situation.

In the room, Sana aims to make things clear and manageable. Conversations tend to focus on small, realistic steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on emotion-focused and narrative ideas to help people make sense of painful memories and build stronger connections with themselves and others.

Sana holds BACP, which is a professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma, addiction issues, and intimacy-related problems. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, autism, immigration matters, and issues around kink and alternative sex culture.

People who choose Sana usually want a supportive, respectful space to talk things through and to try practical steps between sessions. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

How Sana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach tend to centre on the client's priorities and on building a trusting conversation, whether the client needs emotional support or help with daily decisions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. In an online setting ACT can support managing anxiety, coping with life changes and taking small practical steps between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces specific exercises to shift them. Via remote work, CBT often includes short tasks to practise between meetings and clear tracking of progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sana will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that feel most helpful. That choice is made together and can change as therapy unfolds.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, which helps fit sessions around work, family or other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions so practical progress continues outside appointments.
