About Sally
Sally Masson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career questions. Sally works in a direct, calm way and aims to help people feel more in control of their choices.
Sally uses an approach that encourages people to look at their problems from new angles.
Background and approach
She often helps clients name and understand powerful emotions such as anger or shame, and to see how these feelings shape behaviour. The work is collaborative - Sally and the client decide together what to focus on and how to move forward.
Her practice draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice, attachment-based thinking about close relationships, and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to manage strong emotions. She also makes space for narrative and Jungian perspectives when these suit a person’s needs. These methods are used to help people find practical ways to cope day to day.
Sally has worked in therapy for 10 years and holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her professional credential. She sees people in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Online and phone options are available alongside live chat and text-based messaging.
Sally is attentive to whether a person felt known as a child and how that affects adult life. She offers a steady, non-judgemental presence and adapts her approach as the conversations develop. Many clients find simply being heard useful as a first step toward change.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when people feel stuck, aimless or overwhelmed by life changes by focusing on values and what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape adult connections and emotional patterns, which can help people who struggle with intimacy, trust or repeated relationship problems.Sally aims to find the right approach together with each person. She will discuss the different ways of working and adapt them to the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on emotions, relationships, personal meaning or practical skills.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments. Video calls are useful for seeing facial expression and body language, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent contact. These options give flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy going across busy weeks.
