About Sacha
Sacha Akinyemi supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and parenting strain. She also helps with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body-image issues, and coping with life changes. Sacha works with people who identify as LGBT and those navigating family and adoption-related challenges.
Sacha uses a simple, person-centred style in sessions. She focuses on listening first and then shaping conversations around each person's needs. Sessions aim to be practical and clear, with space to talk through feelings, decide priorities and try small steps between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on approaches that help people focus on solutions, understand relationships and follow their own goals. In practice Sacha tailors the plan to each person.
That could mean short-term problem-solving, looking at wider family patterns, or spending more time on emotional processing. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion while helping clients build confidence and motivation. Sacha encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard.
She supports and empowers clients as they try out changes, and she checks progress so the work stays useful and relevant.

How Sacha's approaches can work online
Sacha draws on person-centred work that focuses on the individual's experience and goals. This approach means sessions centre on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them choose next steps to improve confidence and wellbeing.She also uses solution-focused techniques that look at practical changes and small experiments. This helps when someone wants clear, short-term goals for problems like stress, low mood or motivation. Systemic therapy is part of her practice too, which examines patterns in family and relationship dynamics and helps people explore how those patterns affect current difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sacha works collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She will adapt the style if different issues emerge or if progress suggests a different direction.
