Babita Sareen-Flora, BACP

Babita Sareen-Flora is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through major life shifts and emotional struggles. She speaks English and Hindi and brings eight years of experience working with issues such as depression, grief, relationship strain and trauma. Her approach is grounded in listening first and making sure each person feels heard before moving on to techniques or strategies.

She uses different ways of working depending on what a person needs. That can include methods that look at how past attachments affect current relationships, practical cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thinking, or a person-centred style that follows the client’s pace. EMDR and emotionally-focused work are used where trauma and relationship patterns are central.

In sessions she aims for a calm, open space where difficult feelings can be named and explored. Conversations often start with what is most pressing, then shift to small, manageable steps for coping and change. Some time is spent on building clearer communication and safer connections with the people who matter.

Babita describes her work as collaborative. She helps clients set realistic goals and checks in about what is helpful. She also supports people dealing with complex situations like caregiving stress, addiction concerns, eating or sleep problems, and career doubts.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People from outside the United Kingdom can work with her, and she offers sessions on a subscription basis that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Babita uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people want to understand why they repeat the same relationship dynamics and to practise new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, doable actions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs to change.

The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Many people find it simpler to schedule a short session around work or caregiving, or to join from a quieter spot without travelling.
