Sasha Dineen, BACP

Sasha Dineen is based in Littlehampton, West Sussex, and offers a warm, humanistic approach to counselling rooted in person-centred practice. She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Humanistic Counselling and a PGCE, a postgraduate teaching qualification, which together inform both her clinical work and her role as an educator.

Sasha has maintained a private practice for five years and also works with several Employee Assistance Programmes, blending short-term solution focused techniques with humanistic principles to meet a range of concerns. In addition to clinical work she is a counselling tutor, leading courses on counselling, mental health, wellbeing, stress and mindfulness for students and professionals.

Her work spans adults, children and young people, delivered both in person and online, with a particular interest in creative arts methods as a way to explore feelings and build resilience. Outside of her professional life she enjoys badminton, warm-weather cold-water sea swimming, and quiet leisure time with board games and jigsaw puzzles, interests that reflect her practical and playful approach to wellbeing.

Person-Centred and Solution-Focused Support Online

Sasha often draws on person-centred counselling, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace of their own change and build self-understanding. This approach is well suited to people working through grief, identity questions, relationship concerns, and issues with self-esteem.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on clients' strengths and practical steps toward specific goals. These methods can be helpful for stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, and short-term workplace difficulties. In addition, Sasha specialises in creative arts methods, using drawing, storytelling or other expressive activities to access emotions that can be hard to put into words, which can benefit children, young people and adults alike.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Sasha works collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on needs, goals and preferences. Her online practice offers flexibility - sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - so clients can choose the format that suits their schedule and comfort level while working with a registered professional.
