About Sacha
Sacha Whittaker helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. She is named at the start so readers know who they are reading about. Her style aims to feel straightforward and supportive for someone worried about seeking help.
Sacha is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings 18 years of professional experience to sessions and adapts her approach to each person.
Background and approach
She uses client-centred therapy, focusing on the person's own goals and resources rather than imposing a fixed plan. In sessions she listens carefully and works alongside the person to identify strengths and coping skills. Conversations are practical and paced to suit individual needs.
Sacha emphasises partnership in the work and encourages clients to take the lead on what they want to address. Common issues she supports include family difficulties, grief and loss, problems with attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, and challenges such as chronic pain, illness or major life transitions.
She also helps with communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, and feelings of guilt or shame. Sacha offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to empower people to make changes they value. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She does not accept international clients and works from the United Kingdom.

Approaches Sacha lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Sacha adapts client-centred work to the online setting by paying attention to what each person needs in the moment. The aim is to collaborate on goals and choose ways of working that fit the person's life. Together they decide whether to focus on coping strategies, understanding patterns, or practical problem-solving.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are helpful for check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family, or health needs.
