Sasha Dineen, BACP

Sasha Dineen is a counsellor working from Littlehampton in West Sussex. She holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Humanistic Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sasha blends practical problem-solving with person-centred listening to help people get through hard times.

She has five years' experience in independent practice and also provides support through employee assistance programmes. In those settings she often uses short-term, goal-focused conversations alongside humanistic ways of working. This mix suits people who need clear steps and also want space to be heard.

Sasha teaches on counselling courses and runs workshops on mental health, stress, wellbeing and mindfulness. That teaching work keeps her up to date with simple techniques she can share in sessions. She also uses creative arts in practice, which can help when words are hard to find.

The therapist has experience supporting adults, children and young people, and offers both in-person and online meetings. People come for help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem and life changes, among other issues. Sasha also works with matters such as addictions, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD.

Outside work she enjoys sea swimming in warm weather, playing badminton and doing board games and jigsaws. Her approach aims to combine kindness, practical tools and honest conversation to help people manage their day-to-day struggles.

How therapy approaches work in online sessions

Sasha draws on humanistic, person-centred counselling which centres on listening and empathy to help people feel understood and examine their choices. This approach can be useful for relationship worries, low self-esteem and grief because it gives space to tell one’s story in a non-judgemental way.

She also uses short-term, solution-focused techniques that identify small, concrete steps to try between meetings. These practical actions suit stress, anxiety and coping with life changes when clients want clear, achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sasha will discuss what feels helpful and tailor the mix of listening and practical steps to each person's needs and goals, working together to adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work and other commitments, reduce travel time and allow quick check-ins when needed. Different ways of meeting suit different needs - for example a shorter call may fit a work break, while a longer meeting can allow deeper conversation.
