Sasha Powell-Mason, BACP

Sasha Powell-Mason works from an integrative, person-centred approach that adapts to each person's needs. She aims to make sessions relaxed and manageable so people can talk through what matters right now. Sasha uses listening, reflection and collaborative planning to help people feel heard and understood.

Sasha qualified with a first class BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years' experience working in a range of settings. That experience includes supporting people through anxiety, depression and stress.

She helps people who are dealing with relationship and family problems, grief and loss, and issues around identity and LGBT concerns. Sasha also supports those struggling with self-esteem, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related issues. Her additional focus areas include attachment, body image and communication problems.

Sasha aims to tailor each session to what is happening in the moment. Sessions are paced to suit the person, allowing them to open up at their own speed. She offers an empathetic and non-judgemental space for exploring difficult emotions and events.

If someone is unsure what to expect, Sasha invites them to reach out for an initial chat. She can answer questions about her approach and what a first session might look like. That conversation can help someone decide whether to take the next step.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Sasha describes her work as integrative and person-centred. In practice that means she listens closely and adapts techniques to fit each person's needs. A person-centred approach focuses on empathy, acceptance and following the client's lead, which can help with building trust and exploring feelings like grief, shame or anxiety.

Another common strand she uses is practical problem-focused work. This involves breaking issues into manageable steps, trying small changes between sessions and reviewing what helps. This kind of work is useful for stress, sleep or workplace difficulties where clear next steps can make a difference.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sasha will work collaboratively to identify which techniques suit the person's goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the focus as needed so the work stays relevant and useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and they may suit people who prefer not to commute. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or sessions without video if someone finds that easier.
