Sally Masson, BACP

Sally Masson is a counsellor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and major life changes. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, sleep problems and intimacy concerns. Sally has a particular interest in ADHD and ageing and geriatric issues, and she brings ten years of experience to her practice.

Sally uses straightforward conversation and careful listening to help people feel understood. She encourages clients to look at problems from new angles so small shifts can increase a sense of control. When emotions feel overwhelming, she helps clients name and sit with those feelings rather than avoid them.

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with practical coping skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and the relational focus of Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives to help people find meaning and understand personal patterns. Sessions emphasise collaboration and steady pacing so the work fits with each person’s needs.

Sally often works with people who grew up feeling unseen and who may need deeper, longer-term exploration. She aims to be a non-judgemental witness who stays alongside clients as they examine difficult material. The goal is clearer self-understanding and more satisfying relationships.

Clients in the United Kingdom can expect a thoughtful, adaptable counsellor who mixes practical techniques with reflective discussion. Sally is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How Sally's approaches shape online work

Sally uses Attachment-Based approaches to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and learn new ways of connecting.

She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, which teaches clear coping skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her relational focus, helping people recognise and shift unhelpful interaction patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sally will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access steady weekly appointments while balancing family or caregiving responsibilities.
