About Sacha

Sacha Akinyemi helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. She supports adults facing relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief and loss. She also works with issues around self‑esteem, motivation and intimacy concerns. Sacha uses a compassionate, respectful manner to create space for honest conversation.

She draws on Client‑Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person in the room. Solution‑Focused Therapy adds short‑term practical steps when people want clearer goals and quick progress. Systemic Therapy is used to look at patterns that sit within families and broader relationships.

Sacha has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Her background includes work supporting people with trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, and complications around adoption and foster care. She adapts the way she talks and plans work to fit the needs of each individual.

Sessions are driven by what the client wants to achieve. Sacha aims to build trust, explore options, and try small experiments between meetings. She offers straightforward language and gentle challenge rather than medical jargon.

If someone is unsure where to start, she suggests a short assessment conversation to set a direction. Sacha encourages clients to see therapy as a collaborative process that changes over time.

How Sacha’s approaches translate to online work

Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach tend to centre on open conversation, building trust, and reflecting back what the client says to help them find their own answers.

Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on creating small, practical steps toward a clear goal. In remote sessions this often means agreeing short tasks between meetings and checking progress in the next appointment to keep momentum.

Systemic Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how they affect the individual. When used online it can help identify recurring dynamics and plan changes that fit a person's daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will jointly decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps shape a tailored way of working and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and offer more flexible scheduling to match everyday life.
