Sabi Chahal

Senior Accredited Psychotherapist & ADHD Specialist | Therapy & Coaching (Online UK & International)

You may be feeling overwhelmed, mentally overloaded, or struggling to keep up with the demands of daily life, especially if you’re navigating ADHD, burnout, or a significant life change. You might be holding things together on the outside, while internally, things feel much harder to manage.

I offer a calm, thoughtful space where you can feel understood and accepted as you are, while also working towards greater clarity, structure and stability in your day-to-day life.

I’m a Senior Accredited BACP Psychotherapist with over 24 years of clinical experience. I specialise in neurodiversity (including ADHD), anxiety, burnout and life transitions. Supporting individuals through complex life challenges and transitions.

My approach combines depth and understanding with practical, forward-focused support. We work collaboratively at a pace that suits you, with gentle structure to support practical, lasting changes in how you feel and function day to day. Grounded in trust, compassion and authenticity.

I bring extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, offering a respectful and inclusive space where you can feel understood and accepted.

I work best with individuals who are open to reflection, engagement and taking an active role in the process of change. I work alongside you to support meaningful change.

I offer both short-term, focused work and longer-term therapy. The structure and direction of our work is shaped through an initial assessment, during which we identify a clear focus and consider what would be most helpful for you.
