About Sacha
Sacha Akinyemi helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges and grief. She often supports those dealing with self-esteem, motivation and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making conversations feel manageable even on a tough day.
Sacha works from a person-centred perspective that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of each session. She adapts conversations and practical steps to the needs you bring, rather than following a fixed template.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, achievable goals and moments of change you can build on between appointments. Her background includes eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has covered a broad range of issues from grief and trauma to eating concerns and compassion fatigue.
She draws on this experience to offer steady, practical guidance. Sacha uses elements of solution-focused work to identify small, practical next steps that fit your life. She also uses systemic ideas to look at patterns in relationships and daily routines.
Together, these approaches help surface useful changes and new ways of relating to stress and conflict. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what feels doable. Whether you need short-term coaching to get unstuck or ongoing support through a difficult change, Sacha aims to help people find clearer options and more manageable steps forward.

How Sacha’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on your experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully and follows what matters to you, which helps when dealing with things like anxiety, low self-esteem and parenting questions.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that can make a difference quickly. It suits people who want clear actions to try between sessions and faster movement toward specific goals.
Systemic Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and daily routines. It can be helpful when issues involve repeated conflicts, role changes or blended family concerns where interactions shape the problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sacha will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which mix of methods best fits your situation. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging suits gradual reflection or quick coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and different time zones while keeping the focus on practical progress.
