About Sacha
Sacha Akinyemi helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports those facing low self-esteem, motivation problems, career crossroads and issues around intimacy or eating. Sacha presents as calm and respectful and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The goal is clearer thinking and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sacha uses Systemic therapy to look at how relationships and patterns influence current problems. She also draws on Client-Centred therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s own experience, and Solution-Focused techniques to identify achievable next steps.
These approaches are chosen to suit what feels most useful for each person. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicated by the credential BACP. Sacha has eight years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and with international clients in English.
Typical sessions cover communication problems, family of origin issues, attachment and blended family concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and common pressures such as work stress or caregiver fatigue. Sacha aims to create a steady, practical space for people to try new ways of coping and relating. People start by discussing immediate priorities and agree on simple goals.
Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed to keep work relevant and manageable.

Online support
How Sacha’s approaches work online
Sacha uses Systemic Therapy to examine patterns between people and how those relationships affect someone’s wellbeing. This approach can help when family background, blended family issues or adoption and foster care questions are part of the picture.She also works from a Client-Centred perspective which prioritises the person in the room and their own experience. That style is useful when someone needs space to be heard and to build confidence. Solution-Focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions to create forward momentum.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a joint process. During early sessions she will listen to your goals, discuss options and help decide which approaches feel most helpful. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so therapy stays relevant to your needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are good for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates or when writing helps you think things through. These options let people arrange therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel commitments.
