About Sacha
Sacha Whittaker helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with family tensions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and problems with attachment and abandonment. Sacha writes simply and directly, so a worried parent can quickly see what she offers.
Sacha is a BACP member, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in a person-centred way and adapts sessions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and move at a pace that feels right for them. In sessions Sacha listens closely and helps people spot their own strengths. She aims to make space for difficult feelings like shame, guilt or grief, and to help people find practical ways forward.
She talks through life transitions, family problems, and the challenges of chronic health conditions. Her style is collaborative - she treats therapy as a partnership. Together with the person in therapy she identifies goals and tries different approaches that fit the person’s situation.
The emphasis is on helping people feel more able to cope and make changes they want to see. She works from the United Kingdom and speaks English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session according to the therapist's availability.

How Sacha works online
Sacha emphasises working in partnership with each person. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try out ways of working, and adjust the approach based on the person's needs and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities and cuts out travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins that slot into a busy day or telephone options when lower bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of ways to work online, and the therapist will help decide what format suits the person's circumstances and goals.
