About Sacha
Sacha Akinyemi is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience. She works with young adults on stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and loss, parenting pressures, self-esteem and career uncertainty. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, eating and body-image issues, anger, and coping with life changes.
Sacha uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of what they are feeling. She draws on client-centred work to focus on each person’s concerns and solution-focused ideas when practical steps are useful. Systemic ideas are used where family and relationship patterns matter.
Sessions are conversational and aim to identify small, realistic changes. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and to how past experience can shape present reactions. For people dealing with adoption, attachment or blended family questions she looks at practical ways to improve communication and boundaries.
Her approach is plain and goal-oriented when needed, and slower when people want space to process emotions like grief or shame. She helps people with issues around fatherhood, infidelity, guilt, and forgiveness by breaking problems into manageable parts and testing simple adjustments.
Sacha offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Sacha draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk through feelings like grief, shame or emptiness without a push toward a particular solution.She also uses solution-focused therapy to identify small, practical steps that move people forward. That method is useful for tackling stress, anxiety, career decisions and short-term goals where clear actions help build momentum.
Systemic therapy informs how she looks at relationships and family patterns. It helps when communication problems, blended family issues, adoption and attachment questions, or fatherhood concerns affect a person’s wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each client and choose methods together based on the person’s goals, preferences and what feels most useful. The plan can change as things progress and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shift patterns and jobs. It can also allow shorter check-ins or reduce travel time, which helps keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
