Sasha Dineen

Sasha Dineen is a counsellor who draws on humanistic, person-centred principles to help people manage strong emotions and life stresses. She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Humanistic Counselling and uses a straightforward, practical style. Sasha aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.

She has five years of private practice experience and also works with employee assistance programmes, combining short-term, solution-focused work with humanistic ideas. That mix supports people who need practical steps as well as deeper reflection. Sasha also runs counselling and wellbeing courses as a tutor, covering stress, mindfulness and mental health topics.

Her clinical interests include anger, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and self-esteem. She also supports people with addiction issues, ADHD, and difficulties linked to trauma and abuse. Sasha uses creative arts approaches when appropriate, adapting the process to each person’s needs rather than following a rigid formula.

Sasha works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Her background in teaching, with a PGCE, informs the educational and coaching elements she brings into sessions. Outside work she enjoys cold-water sea swimming, badminton and board games, which she says help her stay grounded.

People who choose Sasha can expect an approachable counsellor who blends humanistic listening with short-term tools. She guides people to identify priorities and to practise small changes between sessions. This practical focus aims to ease day-to-day pressures while exploring longer-term patterns.

How Sasha adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Sasha works from humanistic, person-centred principles which focus on listening, empathy and helping people make sense of their experiences. This approach involves open conversation and reflection to help someone identify what matters and what they want to change.

She also uses short-term, solution-focused techniques that aim to set clear goals and practical steps between sessions. These methods are useful for managing stress, anger, anxiety and everyday problems where small changes can make a difference. When helpful, creative arts elements are introduced to offer non-verbal ways of expressing feelings and seeing patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sasha will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt the mix of listening, practical tools and creative work accordingly. The plan can change as therapy progresses to reflect what helps most.

The original biography does not list which session formats are used. Please check available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and keep progress consistent across weeks. Some formats also make shorter check-ins possible when schedules are tight or allow sessions without being on camera to suit different comfort levels.
