Sacha Whittaker

Sacha Whittaker is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also helps people cope with big life changes and family-related strains. Sacha is a registered member of the BACP, and she works with each person as an individual. She aims to help people find their own strengths while offering steady support during difficult times.

Sacha uses a person-centred approach and adapts her work to fit each person's needs. That means listening carefully and following what matters to the person in front of her. She helps people talk through guilt, shame, family conflict, and the practical stresses that come with caregiving or chronic illness.

Sessions are presented as a partnership. Sacha encourages people to notice what they already do well and to build on those skills. She offers a calm space to make sense of loss, separation, or long-standing patterns that cause distress.

With 18 years of professional experience, Sacha brings practical experience to conversations about attachment, abandonment and communication problems. Her approach is steady and relational rather than directive. People are guided to try out new ways of coping at a pace that suits them.

If someone wants to explore midlife transitions, fatherhood issues, or the effects of domestic violence, she aims to do so with care and respect. Sacha focuses on helping people regain a sense of control and purpose as they work through change and healing.

How person-centred work transfers to online therapy

Sacha practises a person-centred approach that prioritises listening and following what matters to the client. This approach focuses on building a trusting relationship and making space for people to talk about stress, anxiety, grief or trauma in their own words. It helps with family-related concerns, caregiving strain and life transitions by centring the client's perspective.

The therapist will frame the work as a collaborative process. Together they will decide which ways of working feel most helpful, and adapt methods as needs and goals change. Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions, so clients are invited to give feedback and steer the pace of the work.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people maintain continuity of support through transitions or when managing chronic illness and caregiving duties. Registered or accredited professionals can help identify the practical arrangements that best suit each person's routine and needs.
