About Babita
Babita Sareen-Flora is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing a wide range of concerns. She speaks English and Hindi and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by relationships, loss, mood or stress.
Background and approach
She has eight years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). That background means she has worked with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and intimacy-related concerns.
She also supports people with ADHD, eating or sleeping problems and career or self-esteem struggles. Her approach is flexible and shaped by each person's needs.
Babita uses a mix of methods - including the Gottman Method, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques - to help people notice patterns, practise new ways of relating and manage difficult thoughts or feelings.
In sessions she focuses on building a straightforward, non-judgemental relationship so people can talk about painful experiences and take small, realistic steps forward. Practical tools and short exercises are used when helpful, alongside longer conversations about how past events affect current life.
Babita also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image and communication problems. She aims to offer clear, calm support so people feel understood and can find ways to cope and move forward.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Babita uses relational and practical approaches that adapt well to online formats. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and building practical skills to manage conflict and enhance emotional connection, which can be practised in sessions and at home. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviours and helps people understand and change those patterns in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting so clients feel heard and can make their own choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Babita will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences, then decide collaboratively which methods to try and how to adapt them for online sessions. She often mixes techniques so the plan fits the person's needs rather than sticking to a single label.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling, reduced travel time and the ability to choose shorter check-ins or longer video sessions as needed. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available, while live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or who need quick check-ins between longer appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
