About Babita Sareen-Flora
Babita Sareen-Flora is an experienced counsellor licensed in the United Kingdom who has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, relationship difficulties, obsessive-compulsive patterns, grief and loss, and trauma. She has substantial experience helping those who have lived with neglect and emotional abuse, guiding them toward clearer understanding and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her practice is integrative, adapting to each person's unique situation and drawing on methods such as solution-focused work, psychodynamic exploration, person-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. Rather than applying a single formula, she selects approaches that fit the client’s presenting needs, preferences, and goals. Above all, Babita prioritises a collaborative therapeutic relationship where people feel heard, validated, and able to explore difficult emotions without fear of judgement.
In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where feelings can be expressed and practical steps can be developed. She brings eight years of clinical experience to her work and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating professional registration with a UK counselling body.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Babita integrates attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand fears around intimacy, abandonment, and close connection and supports rebuilding more secure ways of relating. She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on providing empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can find their own insights and solutions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is another key tool in her practice - CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Babita works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to tailor care rather than relying on a single model.
Online sessions provide flexible options for ongoing work. Video calls recreate face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions offer simplicity, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for shorter, more frequent check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support across different locations, while still enabling meaningful therapeutic progress.
