About Sally
Sally Masson is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and addiction. She also helps with parenting pressures, grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems and issues around intimacy and career changes. Sally works by listening closely and helping people find small, practical ways to feel more in control.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas to look at how emotions shape close relationships. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used when someone needs better tools for managing strong feelings.
Background and approach
Sally also draws on existential and Jungian thinking to help people find meaning and personal direction. Sessions aim to be collaborative and down to earth. Sally encourages creative ways of thinking about problems and tries different approaches until something fits.
The work often focuses on recognising painful feelings, naming them, and learning new ways to respond to them. Her practice is adaptable for people who have felt unseen in childhood or who react strongly to feelings like anger or shame. Sally describes the therapeutic relationship as a non-judgemental companionship where a person can be heard and begin to change.
With ten years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she combines practical skills with reflective conversation. Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat or messaging to suit a person’s routine and preferences.

Online support
How Sally’s approaches translate to online therapy
Sally uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and work with powerful feelings in relationships. EFT focuses on identifying emotions, tracing how they affect interactions and building safer emotional responses to improve bonds.Attachment-Based Therapy is another frequent reference point in her work. It looks at how early patterns of relating can shape current reactions and aims to develop more supported ways of connecting with others. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy adds practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing distress and improving day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sally treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options with each person, adjusting methods to fit their goals and how they prefer to work. Together they decide what feels most useful and try it out in sessions.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to use the format that best supports emotional exploration and skill practice.
