About Babita

Babita Sareen-Flora is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, family and parenting pressures, trauma and grief, mood and anxiety problems, addiction concerns, and other life stresses. Sessions are conducted in English and Hindi, and she accepts international clients.

Babita uses a flexible, client-focused approach that changes with each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections affect present relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical experiments.

Her work emphasises a steady, respectful therapeutic relationship. That means giving people time to say what they find hard, and helping them name feelings and patterns that keep recurring. Practical steps and reflective conversation are mixed depending on what a person needs that week.

Babita has supported people through abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness, and complex grief. She also helps with communication and commitment worries and issues linked to intimacy and LGBT matters.

People can expect a direct yet gentle style where goals are clarified early and reviewed as therapy moves on. She asks clients about what they want to change and works with them to build manageable ways to get there.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used and online care

Babita commonly uses attachment-based work to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach looks at patterns in how people connect and can help with relationship stress, abandonment issues and intimacy concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, low mood, stress and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Babita will discuss options with each person and agree on which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not specify session formats here, so check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their use of these approaches to remote conversations and exercises, helping people work on communication skills, trauma processing and coping strategies within appointments.
