Sacha Akinyemi, BACP

Sacha uses client-centred and solution-focused ideas to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy places your experience at the heart of the work and helps build trust through listening and reflection. It is often helpful for depression, low self-esteem and grief because it keeps the focus on what you want to address.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and the strengths you already have. It helps when people want to make specific changes quickly, such as improving routine, managing anxiety or boosting motivation. Systemic Therapy looks at relationship patterns when family or partner dynamics affect wellbeing and can point to different ways to change those patterns.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked before. Together you will try methods that feel right and adjust the plan as needed to suit progress and life circumstances.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversation and visual connection, phone calls can fit into busy days or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility and make it easier to keep regular contact around work, childcare or travel.
