Sally Masson

Sally Masson is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, parenting strains, sleep problems and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Sally works with those managing life changes, career worries and ADHD-related challenges. She holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her profile. Sally aims for clear, practical work in sessions. She encourages people to think about problems differently and to try creative ways of approaching difficult feelings. When strong emotions such as anger or shame feel overwhelming, she helps people name and sit with those feelings without judgement. She adapts her approach as the work progresses, agreeing steps with each person she sees. Sally describes therapy as a shared process where therapist and client look together at inner experiences. Being heard by a steady, non-judgemental listener is central to her way of working. Her approach draws on several therapeutic traditions. Attachment-based ideas help when early relationships affect current trust and closeness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports work on emotional bonds and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions. Sally brings ten years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a companionable space where people can try out changes and build more agency over their lives.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections and trust. In online sessions this approach helps people talk about patterns that affect friendships and close relationships and try new ways of relating.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions in relationships and on repairing bonds. It helps where partners or individuals want to understand and shift recurring emotional cycles and build closer emotional contact.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for managing intense feelings and impulsive reactions. It is useful for learning practical techniques to steady mood and reduce crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sally will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. The choice is collaborative and can change as the therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a busy day. It can also let someone choose simpler arrangements such as audio-only when video is difficult, or schedule sessions to match work and family routines. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor timing and pace so therapy fits into everyday commitments.
