Sasha Dineen, BACP

Humanistic person-centred counselling focuses on the person rather than labels. It involves empathic listening, reflecting feelings back and helping people find their own solutions. This approach can help with grief, low self-esteem and making sense of life changes.

Solution-focused techniques aim at practical change in a short time. Sessions concentrate on goals, small steps and what already works for the person. This method is useful for stress, workplace issues and coping strategies when quicker progress is needed.

Creative arts can be woven into online work to help express emotions that are hard to name. Using drawing, metaphor or simple creative tasks can support people processing trauma, attachment issues or difficulties with communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sasha will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Together you can adjust the balance between practical steps and deeper exploration as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see visual cues and build rapport, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging allows brief reflections between sessions. Those options help fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life while keeping the process consistent and ongoing.
