Sasha Dineen
Person-centred counsellor focusing on practical change
About Sasha
Sasha Dineen is a counsellor who blends humanistic and person-centred approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Humanistic Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Sasha draws on five years of independent practice experience and practical work with employee assistance programmes.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and warm. She uses person-centred listening so clients can talk at their own pace.
Background and approach
Sasha also mixes in short-term, solution-focused techniques when people need tools to cope quickly. Sasha has worked with adults, children and young people in both face-to-face and online settings. She also teaches counselling, mental health and wellbeing topics and runs courses on stress and mindfulness for students and professionals.
Her areas of focus include relationships, grief, self-esteem, addictions and trauma. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, bipolar and ADHD related concerns. Additional interests include attachment, adoption and foster care, ageing issues and chronic illness and pain.
Outside therapy she enjoys creative arts approaches in sessions and brings a practical, down-to-earth style. Sasha swims in the sea, plays badminton and likes board games and jigsaw puzzles, which she sometimes draws on as metaphors in therapy.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Sasha draws primarily on person-centred and humanistic ways of working, which focus on listening and building an understanding relationship. These approaches help people explore feelings, make sense of difficult experiences and develop their own solutions at a steady pace.She also uses brief solution-focused techniques to identify specific goals and small, practical steps. That approach suits people who want tools to manage anxiety, stress, sleep or the early stages of change. Creative arts methods are sometimes included to help express what is hard to say in words; these can be adapted for online use through simple, everyday materials.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sasha will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then shape sessions accordingly. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasise listening, short-term strategies or creative exercises.
Online therapy with Sasha uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video helps recreate a face-to-face feel, phone calls require less bandwidth and take less time, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and mobility needs.
