Sasha Powell-Mason

Sasha Powell-Mason is a counsellor who uses an integrative person-centred approach. She aims to shape sessions around each person's needs and preferences. Sasha creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace.

She qualified with a first class BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice draws on that training and on three years of hands-on experience working in different settings.

Sasha supports people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement and loss, and family or relationship problems. She also works with people facing self-esteem issues, identity questions, self-harm or suicidal feelings, and difficulties linked to women's issues and sexuality.

Her way of working is flexible. She listens, reflects back what she hears, and collaborates with each person to find what helps. Sessions are paced to match how comfortable someone feels, and Sasha encourages people to bring whatever matters to them in the moment.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Sasha acknowledges that. She invites a short initial conversation to answer questions and see if the approach feels suitable before arranging regular sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Sasha works from an integrative person-centred foundation, which means she tailors each session to what the person brings. In practice this involves active listening, reflecting back what is said, and collaboratively choosing techniques that feel useful for the person's situation.

Alongside that core approach, person-centred methods often draw on practical coping skills for stress and anxiety. These can include simple grounding exercises, breathing strategies, and pacing conversations so someone can try a new coping step between sessions. Another helpful strand is focused grief and loss work, which gives people space to name what they are feeling and to find ways to manage daily routines while they process bereavement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process, and Sasha will work with each person to find what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation that can change over time as progress is made.

If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Sasha aims to help people arrange sessions that suit their schedules and day-to-day life.
