About Sasha

Sasha Dineen works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self esteem and life changes using humanistic, person-centred counselling and short-term solution-focused work. She combines these approaches with creative arts in sessions and has five years' experience in private practice and employee assistance programmes. Sasha is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sasha has a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, PGCE. She has run a private practice for five years and also provides counselling through several Employee Assistance Programmes. In that setting she blends short-term solution-focused work with humanistic ideas to support practical goals alongside emotional exploration.

She teaches counselling and runs courses in counselling, mental health, wellbeing, stress and mindfulness. Teaching informs how she explains ideas in sessions and helps clients learn simple strategies they can use between meetings.

Sasha notes experience with adults, children and young people and with both in-person and online work. She uses creative arts approaches as part of her practice, which can help people access thoughts and feelings that are hard to put into words.

Outside work she enjoys badminton, cold-water sea swimming in warm weather and board games and jigsaw puzzles. These interests contribute to her practical, activity-friendly style in sessions and to her understanding of everyday pressures.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Sasha works from a humanistic, person-centred perspective that focuses on the client's experience and personal resources. This approach involves listening, reflecting and encouraging self-directed exploration to help people clarify their concerns and decide on next steps.

She also uses short-term solution-focused techniques. These focus on small, practical changes and setting clear, achievable goals over a limited number of sessions. This can suit people looking for tools to manage stress, anxiety or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sasha will discuss options with each client and agree which combination of humanistic listening, solution-focused tasks or creative arts activities suits their needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. The biography notes she has experience with online sessions, but it does not list specific formats; please confirm the current session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to keep regular appointments alongside work, family or other commitments.
