Sally Masson, BACP

Sally Masson views therapy as a powerful catalyst for change, helping people build richer and more satisfying relationships with themselves, family members, colleagues, and friends. She emphasizes that progress can take many forms - sometimes significant life changes are needed, and other times a fresh perspective on a problem can bring back a sense of control and agency.

Sally recognizes that some clients arrive having felt unseen in their families during childhood, which can mean the work requires greater depth and time. Others feel anxious about intense emotions such as anger and may judge themselves harshly, leading to isolation and shame. In these situations she adapts the pace and focus of therapy to match the client’s needs.

She encourages creative ways of thinking about difficulties and explores alternative approaches to how clients understand themselves and their world. Sally continually assesses and refines the therapeutic work so that she and the client can investigate the client’s inner life together. Being heard by a non-judgmental witness can open the door to meaningful change, and she places value on offering compassionate companionship throughout the process.

Sally holds the BACP credential - a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional standards in her practice.
