About Sacha

Sacha Akinyemi is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges and relationship difficulties. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Sacha presents as caring and aims to meet each person where they are.

She uses a conversational, respectful style. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs, with plans adjusted as progress unfolds. Sacha emphasises sensitivity and compassion while helping people take practical steps forward.

Sacha draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person’s experience and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals. She also uses Systemic Therapy to look at patterns in relationships that affect daily life. These approaches are mixed to suit the concern rather than following a rigid formula.

Sacha has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She works with a range of issues including trauma and abuse, intimacy and body image concerns, career worries, and eating and food-related issues. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues and attachment matters.

People who come to Sacha can expect straightforward conversations and practical steps to try between sessions. She invites clients to take small, manageable actions while exploring longer term goals. The intent is to support people who want clearer direction, more confidence, or relief from emotional pain.

How Sacha’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and self-direction. This approach supports emotional concerns like anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. It helps people identify what a small useful change looks like and then test it between meetings. This is often useful for stress management, motivation and uncomplicated relationship or parenting issues.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Sacha explores your goals and preferences before choosing how to work, and she adapts methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel relevant and manageable.

The biography does not list which online or in-person session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to reduce travel time and help therapy fit into busy lives.
