About Sasha
Sasha Dineen is a counsellor who blends humanistic and person-centred ways of working. She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Humanistic Counselling and uses these approaches to support people facing stress and anxiety. Sasha has five years’ experience working in independent practice and in workplace Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs).
She pairs short-term, solution-focused conversations with humanistic ideas to help people find practical steps forward. Sessions often focus on what someone wants to change now, alongside exploring values and strengths that matter to them.
Background and approach
This mix is useful for life transitions, workplace strain, and relationship concerns. Sasha also tutors on counselling, mental health, wellbeing, stress and mindfulness courses. That teaching keeps her practice grounded in everyday tools people can use between sessions.
She often includes creative arts activities when they suit the person’s needs and style. She has experience working with adults, children and young people, in person and online. Sasha is based in Littlehampton, West Sussex, United Kingdom, and works with a broad range of concerns including grief, addictions, self-esteem and trauma.
Her sessions can address sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and career or life changes. Outside work she enjoys badminton, cold-water sea swimming in warm weather, board games and jigsaw puzzles. These interests inform a relaxed, down-to-earth approach in sessions.
How humanistic and solution-focused work translates online
Humanistic and person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping people connect with their own goals. In practice this means the therapist offers a calm space to reflect, asks open questions and follows what matters to the person rather than imposing a fixed plan.Solution-focused techniques concentrate on practical steps and short-term goals. These are useful when someone needs quick, actionable ideas to manage stress, sleep difficulties, anxiety or workplace issues. Creative arts can also be used online to try new ways of expressing feelings during a session.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to use. This collaborative process can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to suit different days and routines. Video calls let people use visual cues and interactive activities, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, quick live chat can fit into a work break, and messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel commitments.
