About Sally

Sally Masson is a counsellor who helps people with sleep and rest problems alongside issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting strain, career questions and ADHD-related challenges. Her style aims to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage.

Sally works in a way that encourages new ways of seeing problems. She invites curiosity about how past relationships shape current patterns. That can help when someone feels unseen or isolated by long-standing family dynamics.

Sessions focus on talking through feelings and trying small, practical changes. She pays attention to strong emotions such as anger, and helps people name and tolerate them without shame. Practical tools from different approaches are brought into conversation where they fit.

Sally adapts the work to each person as it unfolds. She describes the therapeutic relationship as a shared exploration where the client is heard by a non-judgemental companion. This can create space for steady change over time.

With ten years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Sally combines several therapeutic ideas to suit each person's needs. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they hope to change before starting.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports building safer ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It is useful for people who struggle with strong feelings like anger or overwhelming anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, life demands and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods collaboratively as therapy progresses.

Please confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to choose a quieter space to focus, or avoid needing to be on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
