About Sabina
Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes and related issues like attachment and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and French and draw on practical tools and conversation to help clients move forward.
Sabina draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She aims to create a collaborative space where the client’s own priorities guide each session.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on understanding what matters, noticing patterns that cause pain, and trying small, achievable changes between sessions. 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 also completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical).
Over six years she has worked with people affected by family and domestic violence, chronic pain, road accidents and trauma-related distress. In practice she uses clear strategies for stress management, sleep, and building self-esteem. Sabina also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image and bereavement.
For relationship concerns she helps individuals and partners to reconnect and improve communication. The work is collaborative and practical. Clients can expect a mix of talking, reflecting and skill-building exercises tailored to their goals.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with decisions made together about pace and focus.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Sabina commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape connection and distress, which can help with relationship strains and grief by naming emotions and shifting interaction patterns. She also uses client-centred therapy to follow the client’s lead and build a trusting, respectful dialogue tailored to each person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify thinking and behaviour patterns and try small experiments that reduce anxiety or improve sleep.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sabina discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods to suit their needs. The therapist and client agree on steps, try options, and change direction if something is not working; it is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into daily life and maintain continuity between sessions.
