Sacha Akinyemi, BACP

Sacha Akinyemi is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and parenting challenges. She supports those dealing with self-esteem, motivation and confidence concerns. Sacha also works with people managing career questions, eating issues, anger and compassion fatigue. She is listed as BACP which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sacha tailors conversations and practical steps to each person she sees. She keeps sessions respectful and sensitive, and aims to empower people to make changes they choose. Her style is straightforward and collaborative - she listens first, then helps set small, manageable goals. Her approach draws on client-centred ideas that focus on the person’s experience. She uses solution-focused techniques to identify what’s already working and build on it. Systemic thinking helps when family patterns or relationships are part of the concern. Sacha has eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom. That background includes supporting people through grief, parenting pressures and life transitions such as career change and separation. She also works with a range of interpersonal and identity issues, including LGBT concerns and attachment or family-of-origin challenges. To begin, Sacha asks people to describe the changes they want and what matters most to them. From there she and the client agree goals and a practical plan. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

Approaches that guide online support

Sacha commonly draws on client-centred and solution-focused ideas. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and offering empathic listening so people can find their own answers. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify what matters most.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes. The aim is to identify existing strengths and build on them, which suits people who want concrete goals and quicker progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree on a plan that fits. That collaborative process means approaches can be softened, mixed or shifted as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone-based conversations when video is not practical. Registered or accredited professionals on the service can describe which formats they offer and help arrange sessions that fit everyday life.
