About Sasha
Sasha Dineen is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience in private practice and employee assistance work. She lists help for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self‑esteem, parenting and other family concerns among her areas of focus. Sasha also notes work with trauma and abuse, addictions, LGBT issues, eating and sleeping problems, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar.
Sasha trained in Humanistic, Person‑Centred Counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling as well as a PGCE in teaching. She combines short‑term, solution‑focused work with humanistic ideas when working with people through employee assistance programmes. She also teaches counselling, mental health, wellbeing, stress and mindfulness to learners as a counselling tutor.
Her practice includes creative arts approaches and she reports experience working with adults, children and young people in both face‑to‑face and online settings. In sessions she uses practical, conversational methods to help people untangle problems and try different ways of coping. Parents and adult family members may find this helpful when day‑to‑day home life feels overwhelming.
Sasha highlights practical support for parenting strains, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns and caregiver stress. She also mentions work with commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence in her list of focus areas. Clients can expect a mix of short‑term problem solving and more open humanistic conversation.
Outside work she plays badminton, enjoys cold water sea swimming in warmer months, and likes board games and jigsaws. These interests inform an approachable, down‑to‑earth style in sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and using online sessions
Sasha draws on Humanistic, Person‑Centred Counselling which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of how they feel and relate to others. This approach can help when relationships, self‑esteem or parenting concerns feel confusing and you need time to talk things through.She also uses solution‑focused techniques that aim to identify small, practical steps to change day‑to‑day routines and reduce stress. These methods are useful for tackling specific problems like sleep difficulties, coping with grief, or managing anger in the home.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try ways of working that suit what you need. That conversation usually shapes whether more short‑term, practical sessions or open humanistic dialogue will be the main focus.
The biography indicates she has experience with online sessions, but does not list exact formats here. Confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy home life easier, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check‑in during a lunch break or between errands. It can also allow sessions without cameras when that is useful, or shorter calls for focused problems, depending on the options offered.
