About Sasha
Sasha Dineen is a counsellor who draws on humanistic and person-centred approaches. She has a BA (Hons) Degree in Humanistic Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sasha combines a calm, down-to-earth style with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes.
She has run a independent practice for five years and also works with Employee Assistance Programmes using short-term, solution-focused work alongside humanistic ideas.
Background and approach
That means sessions often look at immediate coping strategies and longer-term personal growth. Sasha also teaches counselling, mental health and wellbeing courses, and brings that teaching experience into the room. Sasha has experience helping adults with a wide range of concerns, including relationships, grief, self-esteem, trauma and addiction.
Her practice also covers issues such as ADHD, bipolar and depression, as well as intimacy, eating and sleeping problems. She often uses creative arts in sessions to help people express difficult feelings when words are hard to find. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts both in-person and online work as part of her practice and teaching roles.
Sessions are conversational and practical, with time spent setting goals and checking how small changes feel in daily life. Outside of counselling she enjoys sea swimming in warm weather, playing badminton and board games, and assembling jigsaw puzzles. These interests inform a relaxed and curious approach to therapy.

How humanistic and solution-focused work translates online
Sasha uses humanistic, person-centred counselling which focuses on understanding each person's experience and helping them find their own solutions. This approach centres on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship to help people explore feelings and choices.She also uses short-term solution-focused techniques that look for practical steps and small, achievable changes. These methods are helpful for stress, anxiety, coping with life transitions and practical problems where clear goals are useful.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sasha will discuss the needs, goals and preferences of the person seeking support and adapt the mix of humanistic reflection and solution-focused tasks accordingly. The plan can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from familiar surroundings or who need flexibility around work and caregiving commitments.
