About Sasha

Sasha Dineen is a counsellor who uses humanistic and person-centred approaches to help people make sense of difficult times. She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Humanistic Counselling and brings five years of private-practice experience to her work. Sasha blends practical short-term techniques with a warm, person-focused style.

She also works with Employee Assistance Programmes where she combines solution-focused ideas with humanistic principles. This means sessions often aim to identify small, manageable steps while keeping the person's values at the centre. Sasha runs counselling and wellbeing courses and brings that teaching experience into one-to-one work.

Sasha has worked with adults, children and young people in different settings, and has experience delivering sessions both in person and online. She uses creative arts alongside conversation when appropriate, adapting to what helps each person express themselves best.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, addiction and trauma. She also supports people with issues around parenting, career changes, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Outside work Sasha enjoys badminton, sea swimming in warm weather and board games and jigsaw puzzles. These personal interests inform a practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions that values simple, steady progress.

How Sasha's approaches work for online therapy

Sasha draws on humanistic and person-centred methods which focus on the person's experience and priorities. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting the person's feelings back, and helping them find their own answers. It is often useful for concerns such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship issues.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that zero in on small, practical steps. That style is helpful when someone wants short-term tools to manage stress, anxiety, career difficulties or coping with life changes. Creative arts may be introduced online to support expression when talking feels hard.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sasha will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which ideas to try and refine the plan as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also make some check-ins shorter or let people choose sessions without being on camera when they prefer that option.
