About Sacha
Sacha Akinyemi is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges and relationship concerns. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She works in a respectful, sensitive way and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.
Sacha shapes each conversation around the person's needs. She listens and responds rather than following a fixed script. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual - practical coping strategies one week and space to talk through feelings the next.
Her background includes eight years working in the UK mental health field and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The BACP credential is shown here as supplied in the original profile.
Sacha uses a blend of client-centred, solution-focused and systemic approaches. She draws on each method to help with issues such as attachment and blended family tensions, adoption and foster care concerns, eating and body image, and managing day-to-day stressors.
People meet Sacha to talk through grief, trauma, career worries, anger and relationship hurts. She aims to support clearer thinking, steadier mood and more workable choices, while respecting each person's pace and priorities.
If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Sacha's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space where the person sets the pace and topics of conversation; it helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief and parenting stress. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, practical steps and measurable goals, which can be helpful for stress, motivation and coping with life changes. Systemic Therapy looks at patterns and relationships, useful when attachment, blended family issues or adoption and foster care concerns affect daily life.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work progresses. That means the plan can change over time if different techniques seem more helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when those suit a schedule. It can also let people use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult, helping sessions work around everyday life without needing a long commute.
