About Sacha
Sacha Akinyemi is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and work through parenting concerns. She also supports people with motivation, self‑esteem, confidence and relationship worries.
Sacha uses a conversational style in sessions. She listens to the immediate problem and responds with practical ideas. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can reduce pressure at home.
She draws on client‑centred work to follow what the person brings and to make space for their priorities. Solution‑focused techniques are used to identify helpful actions and build on what already works. Systemic ideas are offered when family roles and patterns are part of the difficulty.
People contact Sacha for a range of concerns tied to family life, including adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, and family of origin problems. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, body image and eating‑related worries, and the impact of guilt, shame or infidelity.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Sacha and the client agree goals and look for small, achievable changes. She encourages regular review so the plan can be adjusted as circumstances at home change.
