About Sacha
Sacha Whittaker is a counsellor who helps people manage work-related stress, anxiety and life changes. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, family tensions and the wear of long-term illness or caregiving. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.
Sacha works in a person-centred way, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs and priorities. She believes people know themselves best and that therapy is a partnership. Sessions focus on practical steps, recognising strengths and building skills for handling difficult situations.
Her background includes 18 years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience informs a calm and steady approach when addressing complex issues like trauma, shame and relationship conflict.
Sacha often helps people sort through feelings after separation, manage control and communication problems, and navigate midlife shifts. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, illness or the demands of caring for others. Work and wellbeing concerns are a natural part of her practice.
In sessions she will listen carefully, reflect what she hears and invite practical experiments you can try between meetings. The pace and focus are shaped by what you want to achieve, whether that is clearer boundaries, better coping, or a renewed sense of purpose.
How client-centred therapy adapts to online work
Sacha uses a client-centred approach which focuses on the person’s experience and views. In this way of working the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and encourages the client to lead the pace and content. It helps with anxiety, grief, feeling stuck and finding personal resources.Her person-centred method often sits alongside practical problem solving. That means sessions can include short goal-setting, trying out small changes between meetings, and checking what helps in daily life. These practical elements are useful for coping with work stress, caregiver demands and midlife adjustments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be figured out together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape the work collaboratively as it progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose a quieter moment or a shorter meeting if that suits their day better.
