Sabrina Mengrani

I am currently available Tuesday-Thursday, 10am -1pm

I am an integrative psychotherapist working with young people and adults to move through emotional difficulties.

Using creative interventions and metaphor to think about that which can be difficult to put into words, my work is relational and seeks to deepen personal understanding of patterns and sensations.

I work in a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive way, grounded in my own experiences and axis of difference. I understand first-hand how difficult it is to feel ‘other’ because of various aspects of identity, and it is important to me to acknowledge the way structural oppression impacts our experiences. I take care to provide an inclusive and open environment where clients can feel accepted and able to talk about a variety of issues regardless of how they identify.

I draw upon the concepts of attachment theory, polyvagal theory, trauma-informed care, somatic work, neuroscience, and developmental psychology, ensuring my work is grounded in clinical research and practice. I seek to create a space to breathe and regulate amidst the chaos of day-to-day life, where for 50 minutes, you can focus purely on yourself.

I am currently available for medium to long term work, online through Zoom.

I offer 1:1 integrative therapy. This means I use a range of approaches, including psychodynamic (thinking about childhood relationships and patterns), person-centred (centring your experience and sensations), and creative (using music and arts where appropriate). I use a variety of interventions including mindfulness and grounding, to help us explore things that may be difficult to talk about directly.

Usually, therapy begins with a set of six sessions to get to know each other and develop the therapeutic relationship. After these sessions, we will check in about how you would like to continue. My work is open ended and focused not on quick-fix solutions, but thinking about deeper underlying patterns and challenges, meaning that this process can take time.

If interested, please reach out for a brief, free, 15 minute conversation, where we can talk about what you’re looking for, if I would be a good fit for you, and any questions or concerns you may have.
