Sacha Akinyemi helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. She supports those facing relationship strains, trauma, eating concerns, career changes and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity. Sacha's name appears here so readers know who they would be working with.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her - goals, patterns that get in the way, and new ways to cope.

Background and approach

Sacha adapts her approach to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Sacha draws on three main approaches: client-centred work that follows the client's lead; solution-focused work that targets clear, achievable changes; and systemic ideas that look at how relationships and family patterns affect feelings and behaviour. Those methods help with everyday worries, parenting challenges, and complex family dynamics.

Sacha has eight years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Her background includes supporting people through grief, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family issues, and compassion fatigue. She brings experience with body image, eating-related worries, and fatherhood issues as well.

Sessions are offered in English and Sacha accepts international clients. People meet by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so sessions can fit around work and family life. The emphasis is on clear, practical next steps and steady support.

How Sacha’s approaches work online

Sacha uses client-centred therapy and solution-focused therapy to guide online work. Client-centred therapy means the session follows the person’s pace and priorities, helping people feel heard and understood. Solution-focused therapy zooms in on small, practical changes that build confidence and relieve stress. She also uses systemic ideas when it helps to look at patterns in relationships or family life. That approach spots repeated interactions that maintain a problem and helps people try different responses. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process; the therapist will discuss options and tailor the work to the client’s goals and preferences. Online sessions can be video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, shorter notes or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep momentum between meetings.
