Sabina Jugurnauth, ACA

Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and major life changes. She works with people experiencing depression and those trying to cope with difficult transitions. Sabina aims to help clients untangle patterns that keep them stuck and build practical skills for everyday life.

She trained with a Master in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Mauritius. Sabina is also completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical). Over six years she has supported people impacted by family and domestic violence, chronic pain, road accidents, and other complex situations.

Sabina uses a collaborative style. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and works together to set goals. Sessions focus on unfolding a person’s story, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practising new ways of coping.

Her methods include client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused work for relationships. She also draws on narrative and existential ideas to help people make sense of loss and change.

Practical support often features tools for stress management, sleep quality, self-esteem and workplace challenges. Sabina describes therapy as a space to try new responses, break old patterns and build a plan that fits everyday life.

How Sabina's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches step-by-step strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift the emotional responses that shape relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sabina works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may blend different approaches over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can cut commuting time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone join without needing to be on camera if that feels easier. These practical benefits can help therapy become a regular part of daily routines while the therapist and client focus on real-life changes and skills.
