About Sasha
Sasha Powell-Mason is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and a broad range of emotional and mood-related issues including social anxiety and phobia. Sasha aims to make the first steps into counselling easier for people who feel unsure about starting therapy.
Sasha uses an integrative person-centred approach. That means sessions focus on what the person is experiencing now, and Sasha adapts the way she works to suit each session. Conversations are paced to what the client can manage, and time is given to talk through thoughts, feelings and practical difficulties.
Her training includes a first-class BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sasha has worked in a variety of settings and has experience helping with anxiety, depression, bereavement, identity concerns and self-harm or suicidal feelings among other issues.
In sessions Sasha listens for patterns that keep problems going, such as unhelpful self-talk, avoidance or relationship tensions. She then explores small, practical steps clients can try between meetings to test new ways of coping. Work often includes building communication skills, addressing unhelpful thinking, and practising short exercises for panic and worry.
People can start by using the online matching process to choose Sasha and book a first appointment. She is available to answer questions before a first session and encourages prospective clients to ask about how she works and what to expect.
How Sasha uses evidence-based techniques in online work
Sasha draws on person-centred practice alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clients. One common method she uses is cognitive approaches that look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach straightforward ways to test and change them. These approaches can help with anxiety, panic and persistent worrying.Another helpful strand is behavioural work focused on gradual exposure and small practical steps. This involves breaking feared situations into manageable actions and practising them over time to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sasha discusses options with each client and together they decide what fits with the person’s goals, pace and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help people try therapy while balancing daily responsibilities.
