Sacha Whittaker supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes. She is based in the United Kingdom and brings 18 years of professional experience to her work. Sacha is a BACP member, which is listed as her credential.
Her sessions are built around a client-centred approach. That means she listens first and helps people name what matters to them. She aims to work as a partner with each person, drawing out strengths and practical coping ideas.
Background and approach
The tone is collaborative and straightforward. Sacha has experience helping people cope with relationship and family problems, including separation and communication difficulties. She also supports those dealing with abandonment and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and chronic pain.
She works with issues such as guilt, shame and isolation as well as finding life purpose or navigating a midlife crisis. In practice she focuses on clear, manageable steps. Conversations will examine patterns, identify small changes and build on what already works.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental working style that encourages self-understanding and practical problem solving. Sacha believes people are experts in their own lives and that therapy is a partnership. She aims to create a space where clients can explore feelings, try new ways of coping and strengthen their existing resources.
Her approach suits those wanting empathetic support and real-world strategies for change.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred work and online therapy options
Sacha practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgement. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own answers. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, grief, trauma and difficulties with relationships or life transitions. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions may adapt over time as priorities change and new challenges arise. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when someone has limited bandwidth or wants a lower-tech option. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter sessions or people who prefer writing to talking. These online options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limitations. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and offer flexible appointment times. The choice of format is practical and can be discussed at the start of therapy to match communication style and daily routines.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
