About me
Hi, I’m Saana. At Saana Counselling, I recognise that we all go through difficult times and experience emotional distress. If you're struggling or feeling stuck, I offer a warm and safe space to explore what may be affecting your life. As a qualified child counsellor and integrative therapist, I draw on various counselling approaches to tailor our work to your unique needs. I also work as a school counsellor, helping children and young people navigate their emotions and challenges. My extensive experience includes supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and domestic violence, to name a few and I see both adults and children in my private practice.
I understand how intimidating it can be to speak with someone new. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where I will listen to whatever you feel comfortable sharing. My goal is to help you uncover underlying issues and identify any barriers preventing you from living the life you desire. Sometimes, simply being heard can bring about powerful change, and I believe that transformation is possible, even in the most difficult situations.
I offer a free 10- to 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask any questions and determine if we’re a good fit to work together. This allows us both to discuss how we might achieve your therapy goals. If you decide to proceed, we can arrange a full assessment to further explore your needs.
Taking the first step towards therapy requires courage, and I recognise how important it is to find someone you can trust. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions, and I will respond as soon as possible

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I offer mindfulness training and other therapeutic interventions to support your holistic healing. Techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural strategies, and grounding exercises can help you manage stress, regulate emotions, and cultivate greater self-awareness. By working in collaboration, we can explore the tools and approaches that best suit your needs, helping you build resilience and achieve lasting well-being. Whether you’re looking to reduce anxiety, overcome trauma, or simply improve your mental and emotional health, I’m here to guide you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

I am a Registered Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
I am committed to practising within the BACP Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals. I offer counselling sessions for adults, pre-teens, and young people, tailoring my approach to meet each individual’s unique needs.
My work is informed by a variety of therapeutic models, including:
Behavioural, Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Humanistic, Integrative, Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and Relational approaches.
This flexible, integrative approach allows me to adapt my methods depending on the client’s goals, whether it's short-term work or long-term therapy.
I offer both face-to-face sessions and online therapy, as well as telephone sessions, and provide the option for time-limited work or more in-depth, long-term engagement. Whatever your preference or requirement, I am dedicated to providing a safe, confidential space where we can work collaboratively towards achieving your therapeutic goals.
