About Babita

Babita Sareen-Flora is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people who are struggling with relationship strain, grief, anxiety and other life stresses. She speaks English and Hindi and aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and approachable. Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Babita adapts her work to what each person needs. She starts by building a steady working relationship where people can speak openly. Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as understanding how past patterns shape current difficulties. Her style is person-centred and collaborative, with space for clear problem-solving when that fits.

She draws on several approaches when they suit the client’s goals. Attachment-based ideas help when patterns from early relationships repeat in adult life. Cognitive behavioural techniques support managing anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. For people with trauma, EMDR may be offered alongside emotionally-focused work to address painful memories and relationship distress.

Babita has worked across a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, addiction, low self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar mood difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment and caregiver stress.

International clients are accepted and the practicalities of starting therapy are kept simple. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Babita’s availability.

How Babita’s approaches work online

Babita uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect present behaviour and feelings. This approach helps when trust, closeness and recurring relationship conflicts are the main issues. It focuses on understanding those repeating patterns and trying new ways of connecting.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT gives clear strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits through practical exercises and behaviour changes. For trauma work she combines emotionally-focused approaches with EMDR to help process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Babita will discuss options and decide with each person which methods suit their goals and preferences. Therapy is collaborative and adapts as needs change over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before you book. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins and remove travel time.
