About Sacha

Sacha Akinyemi is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, eating and intimacy-related concerns. Sacha uses a gentle, respectful style to listen and respond to what matters to each person.

She works in a way that puts the client at the centre of the conversation. That means she follows the person’s pace and priorities, and shapes sessions around what is most helpful right now.

Background and approach

Practical goals and small steps are used alongside open listening to build momentum. Sacha draws on solution-focused techniques to identify strengths and workable next steps. She helps people spot what is already working and use it to move forward.

Systemic ideas are used when relationships or family patterns play a part in the issue. With eight years of experience, Sacha has supported people through loss, career shifts, parenting stress and changes after separation. She pays attention to how background and family of origin can affect current patterns and choices.

Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth, aimed at making therapy useful in everyday life. Sacha is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

To begin, she asks people to describe their immediate concerns and what they hope to change.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening to the person and following their lead. The counsellor reflects what matters to the client, helping them name feelings and priorities so they can decide what to change. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, practical steps and existing strengths. It helps people set short-term goals and try out concrete actions that can shift how things feel. Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and family patterns. It helps identify how connections and roles influence current problems and guides changes in communication and interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then decide together which methods to try. This collaborative planning can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video calls work well when seeing expressions helps the conversation. Phone sessions suit those who want to speak without being on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, reflection between sessions or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still getting consistent support from registered or accredited professionals.
