About Sacha
Sacha Akinyemi helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain.

She is identified by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sacha uses a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first and helps people set clear goals.
Conversations are shaped to each person’s needs, whether that means short practical steps or deeper work on past hurts.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to feel manageable and relevant to everyday life. Her practice includes client-centred methods that focus on the person’s own priorities. She also uses solution-focused techniques to build small, achievable changes.
Systemic ideas are drawn on when family patterns, adoption or blended family issues are part of the problem. Across eight years of experience, Sacha has supported people through divorce, separation, attachment difficulties and fatherhood questions. She helps with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and infidelity recovery.
Her work covers both immediate coping and longer term change. People can expect a compassionate, non-judgemental tone and practical suggestions they can try between sessions. Sacha places importance on tailoring sessions to the individual and adapting the pace as needed.
She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and works with international clients.

How Sacha’s approaches work online
Client‑centred therapy puts the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist follows the client’s pace, listens carefully and helps clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk about anxiety, grief or self‑esteem issues.Solution‑focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what changes would make life better. It is useful for stress, coping with life changes, career direction and goal setting because it focuses on achievable actions rather than long explanations.
Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and how relationships affect problems. It can be helpful when adoption, blended family dynamics, communication problems or attachment issues are part of the difficulty.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which method or blend fits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter option, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check‑ins and written reflection. These formats let people choose what works best for their routine and comfort.
