About Sally

Sally Masson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports those facing trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and issues around intimacy. Parents worried about sleeping problems, parenting strain or low self-esteem can also find practical help.

Sally lists ADHD among her areas of focus and works with career and life-change concerns too. Sally uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

She favours attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on emotion-focused methods to help people understand and manage strong feelings. Her way of working is flexible and tailored rather than fixed to one model.

In sessions she encourages fresh ways of thinking about old problems. Sally listens without judgement and supports people to try alternative approaches in small steps. Sometimes that means practical skills to cope with anxiety or anger, and other times it means slower exploration of painful past experiences.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process where both counsellor and client shape the path forward. That can mean deciding together when to push into harder topics and when to focus on immediate coping strategies. The aim is more control, clearer choices and a greater sense of agency in daily life.

Sally has around 10 years of experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people across a wide range of concerns and adapts the approach to each person’s story.

Ways of working Sally names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How different approaches work online

Sally draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. Online sessions use discussion and reflective exercises to pinpoint relationship habits and try new ways of relating.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and name powerful emotions. That approach helps when anger, shame or fear make someone feel cut off or overwhelmed. In session the therapist and client identify emotional moments and practice new responses together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sally will talk through options and tailor the plan to your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where you both test what helps and adjust as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and have longer, reflective conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility constraints while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
