About Sacha

Sacha Akinyemi works on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem and relationship issues using a person-centred approach and practical methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience in the field.

Sacha uses straightforward talking and focused exercises in sessions. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and think about small, manageable steps they can take between meetings. Practical problem-solving and short-term goal work are part of how she supports change.

Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image concerns, anger and career worries. She works with matters linked to family and parenting, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues and fatherhood questions. Sacha also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness and infidelity.

She draws on client-centred therapy to foreground the person's experience, and on solution-focused techniques to identify achievable next steps. Systemic ideas are used when family patterns and relationships are relevant to the presenting concerns.

Sacha offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location. To start, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first appointment.

How Sacha uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Sacha works from client-centred principles, which means she focuses on the person's experience and adjusts the pace of sessions to how they present. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk through feelings and be heard.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and identify practical steps. This is useful for people wanting to make small changes between sessions, such as managing anxiety or improving communication. Systemic therapy is used when family patterns or relationships are part of the concern, helping map interactions and consider different perspectives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then agree a way forward that fits the person's needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting counselling into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations and can be arranged to suit work or family commitments. The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking.
