About Sasha
Sasha Dineen is a counsellor who works from a humanistic, person-centred place. She brings five years of private practice experience and teaches counselling and wellbeing courses. Her approach aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk and be heard.
She trained to a BA (Hons) degree level in Humanistic Counselling and also holds a PGCE in teaching. That background feeds into how she explains ideas and supports people to practise new ways of coping between sessions.
In addition to running a private practice, she provides therapy through Employee Assistance Programmes, using short-term, solution-focused work alongside humanistic ideas. This means sessions may look at immediate practical steps as well as longer-term personal reflection.
Sasha has experience working with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, ADHD and adoption and foster care matters. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caring responsibilities and body image issues.
She uses creative arts as part of her work with adults, children and young people, and offers sessions both in person and online. Outside of counselling she enjoys badminton, cold-water sea swimming and board games, which she says help her keep a grounded perspective.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Her work combines humanistic person-centred counselling with short-term solution-focused techniques. Person-centred counselling prioritises the client's perspective, listening closely and helping people find their own answers to relationship, grief or self-esteem issues. Solution-focused work looks for practical steps that can be tried between sessions to reduce stress or manage difficult moments.Sasha also uses creative arts exercises when useful, adapting activities to fit an online conversation or simple exercises people can do between meetings. These techniques can help people process feelings without relying only on talk, which can suit those managing trauma, attachment issues or changes linked to adoption and foster care.
Finding the right way of working is a joint process. Sasha will discuss goals, try out approaches and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to keep and which to change as therapy moves forward.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats here, please confirm available options before booking. Online work can be good for shorter focused check-ins or for continuing work when meeting in person is difficult.
