Your Story Counselling with Sasha

Your Story Counselling with Sasha This isn’t therapy as you’ve known it. I believe therapy doesn’t have to be clinical – it can be playful, embodied and how you imagine it. You bring your story.

Just real connection, creativity, and space to be unapologetically you. Hi, I’m Sasha — a qualified counsellor, Russian-born and UK-rooted, with a love for metaphor, deep conversations, and the quiet magic of feeling truly seen. I offer a gentle, down-to-earth space for adults navigating overwhelm, identity shifts, stress, trauma, or simply the ache of being human. My approach is creative, relational, and trauma-informed — shaped by warmth, humour, cultural humility, and lots of heart. I often work with images, stories, body-based awareness, and sensory language — because healing isn’t just about talking, it’s about feeling. You don’t have to have the “right words” here. We’ll explore things together at your pace, whether you’re feeling lost, heavy, burnt out, or trying to find who you are. Expect curiosity, compassion, and a space that honours who you are — fully. I’ll bring presence, care, and a deep respect for your truth (and maybe a nice cup of tea).

A small update from my practice 🌿

I keep coming back to this tree image to ground myself. There’s something about its rootedness and warmth that metaphorically reflects the changes happening behind the scenes in my private practice.

I’ve started taking gentle first steps toward creating a more natural, grounding therapy space.. at home. It's a big step - a bit scary and also very exciting. I have never imagined I would practise from home, but it feels surprisingly liberating to create a space that truly reflects me as a practitioner.

I’ll share more as it unfolds.
For now, it feels good simply to begin.

I'm a therapist, but also a real person with my own texture... who gets overwhelmed by noise, hates small talk, and feels with intensity.

Labels can feel like a cage, or doorways. For me, they were doorways.

Here are some of the many things I have discovered about myself.

I am here to listen to the things you don't have words yet.

To hold the space with warmth and sensitivity.

I'm interested in your story, your ways, and your own pace.

I try to see you as a whole person, not fragmented, pathologised parts.

I work creatively, not clinically.

Human first, therapist second.

Hi, I’m Sasha 👋

Social media isn’t exactly my natural home, but I’m learning… and I’d love for this space to grow gently, like a little garden. A place where I can share thoughts, reflections, and resources that might bring comfort or spark curiosity.

For me, therapy is also like a garden — it grows best when it’s honest, real and messy. That’s why I believe it’s important to show up as myself, not just as a counsellor with training, but as a whole human. Sensitive, curious, a little untamed, and always learning.

While I find my rhythm here, thank you for bearing with me — and welcome to this small beginning. 🌱

I'm so glad you’ve found your way here.

I am a counsellor who wants to reimagine therapy as a more holistic place: No stiff chairs. No pressure to have it all figured out. Just warmth, creativity, and room to be you.

This is a place where your pace is honoured, your voice is heard, and your whole self is welcome — even the messy, quiet, uncertain parts.

Whether you want to talk, make, move, reflect, or simply sit and breathe… there’s space for it here.

I am not here to fix you.
I am here to walk alongside you, as you grow in the ways that feel right for you.

Thanks for being here.
You’re welcome — just as you are. 🤍
