Sanaa Baksh is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Sanaa speaks English and Arabic and works with a range of issues including attachment, communication problems and panic attacks.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Counselling, a foundation degree in counselling psychology and additional certificates in counselling skills and online counselling. She has completed study in Islamic counselling and modules on safeguarding, domestic abuse and mental health awareness.
Sanaa can support people coping with grief and end-of-life concerns, immigration-related stress, isolation, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters. She also works with people affected by domestic violence and those needing help with life purpose and forgiveness.
Sessions are presented as a collaborative process. Sanaa uses practical CBT tools alongside space to talk through feelings and relationships. The approach is straightforward: identify what’s causing difficulty, try manageable strategies, and review what helps.

Sheet 2
Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions involve
Two notable approaches described in the biography are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and humanistic counselling. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy uses practical exercises and thought records to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses; it is often used for anxiety, panic and mood problems. Humanistic-informed work focuses on exploring feelings and personal meaning, which can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem and life purpose.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client review concerns, goals and preferences together to decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as sessions progress.
The biography mentions training in online counselling but does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering a way to keep working on issues when attending in-person sessions is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises and homework for remote work so clients can practice tools between sessions.
