Sasha Dineen, BACP

Sasha Dineen is a counsellor who uses humanistic and person-centred approaches to help people navigate difficult life moments. She holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Humanistic Counselling and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Sasha has five years of private practice experience alongside work for Employee Assistance Programmes where she blends short-term, solution-focused work with humanistic ideas.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and mood concerns such as bipolar. Other focus areas include relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, self-esteem, addiction, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sasha also works with issues linked to ageing and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and bereavement related to health conditions.

Her background includes tutoring in counselling, mental health and wellbeing, and she runs courses on stress and mindfulness. This teaching experience informs a practical, clear approach in sessions that aims to build everyday coping skills. Creative arts are sometimes used as part of the work when it feels helpful.

Sasha has provided counselling to adults, children and young people in both in-person and online settings. She combines humanistic listening with brief goal-focused strategies when clients want short-term change alongside deeper exploration.

Outside work she enjoys badminton, cold-water sea swimming in warm weather and playing board games and jigsaw puzzles. These interests often shape gentle, grounded ways of working with people.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sasha draws primarily on humanistic and person-centred ideas that focus on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. This approach involves open, non-judgemental listening and supports people to explore feelings and values at their own pace; it can help with grief, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.

She also uses short-term, solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and try practical changes between sessions. These techniques break concerns into manageable steps and are often useful for stress, anxiety, career or life-change goals.

Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. Sasha will discuss different approaches with each person and agree together what feels most useful based on needs, goals and preferences. That partnership helps shape whether the work is more exploratory or more directed toward practical outcomes.

The biography indicates Sasha has experience delivering counselling online as well as in person, but it does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people continue work during relocation or when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
