She sees each person as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to find practical ways forward. Sacha aims to help people spot strengths they already have and build on them while they make changes.
Sacha is a member of the BACP, which means she is part of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
She brings 18 years of professional experience to her work and adapts her approach to the needs of each person. Her practice is person centred - she focuses on listening and understanding before suggesting ways to proceed. In sessions she helps people talk through feelings of abandonment, attachment worries, guilt and shame, or the strain of caregiving.
She also supports those dealing with chronic pain, illness and disability, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, and the loneliness that can come with major life shifts. Sacha offers a calm space to make sense of painful events and find coping strategies. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
She will ask about what matters most to the client and work with them to set practical goals. Therapy can include talking, reflecting on patterns, and trying out new ways to manage emotions or communicate with others. Sacha aims to empower people to take small steps that feel achievable.
She focuses on real-life changes such as improving communication, managing anxiety, and rebuilding routines after loss. People who prefer a gentle, listening-led approach may find her style helpful.
Person centred approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy is at the heart of Sacha's online work. This approach focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what the person says. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, rebuild self-trust, or work through shame and grief.Sacha adapts the person centred attitude to practical goals. That means together they will decide what to focus on, whether that is reducing anxiety, managing caregiving stress, or finding ways to cope with chronic illness. The therapist treats clients as partners in this process and will help choose techniques that match their needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat gives a shorter paced check-in, and text messaging works for people who prefer to write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments.
Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver consistent therapeutic work across distance. The therapist will discuss which format suits the person best and can adjust as needs change.
