Sabina Jugurnauth, ACA

Sabina Jugurnauth is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports people coping with major life changes and ageing and geriatric issues. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, focused on practical skills and bringing clarity to difficult moments.

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 completing an MA in Psychology (Clinical), and brings six years of clinical experience to her practice.

In sessions she listens carefully to each person’s story and treats them as the expert in their own life. She uses conversations and exercises to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Typical topics include stress management, sleep improvement, self-esteem and navigating workplace or relationship conflict.

Sabina has worked with people affected by family and domestic violence, chronic pain and road accidents, and she supports those recovering from trauma, anxiety and depression. She also works with couples who want to move from repeated arguments to better connection.

Her approach is tailored to the individual. She helps people set clear goals, practices new skills in session, and checks progress along the way. Sessions are offered in English and French to suit bilingual clients.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist offering listening and gentle reflection to help people make choices that suit their life. It is useful for people feeling stuck, unsure of next steps, or wanting support through life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. It is often used for stress, depression and anxiety-related problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and change patterns in close relationships by working with emotions and interactional cycles; it is often chosen by people wanting to improve connection and resolve repeating conflicts.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and agree on a plan that fits the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss which setup works best during the intake so sessions suit everyday routines.
