Sasha Dineen , BACP

Sasha Dineen is a counsellor who draws on humanistic, person-centred ideas in her work. She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Humanistic Counselling and the BACP credential. Sasha blends a direct, practical style with warmth to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, grief and self‑esteem concerns.

She has five years of private practice experience and also works with Employee Assistance Programmes. In those settings she combines short-term, solution-focused work with person-centred conversations to tackle immediate problems and build longer-term coping skills.

Sasha runs counselling and wellbeing courses and teaches topics such as stress and mindfulness. That teaching background shapes her approach - sessions often include straightforward strategies alongside space to reflect and feel heard.

She also uses creative arts in her work, which can help when words are hard to find. People who prefer non-verbal ways to process experience may find these options useful alongside talking therapies.

Sasha practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can suit different rhythms of life.

How practical approaches meet online therapy

Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. Sessions aim to create a space where someone can talk through feelings, identify what matters and set small, doable goals. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on clear steps and short-term goals to ease immediate stress and boost coping skills.

Sasha also uses creative arts alongside talking, offering simple activities to help express difficult feelings when words are not enough. These methods can be helpful for dealing with grief, body image, trauma-related issues and changes in life circumstances. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a joint process - the therapist will work with the person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around a busy day, while text or chat sessions allow brief check-ins or a written record of thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with varied schedules and communication styles.
