About Sally
Sally Masson is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with parenting concerns, grief, addiction, sleep problems and life changes. Sally uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people feel more in control of their day to day life.
She draws on ten years of experience working with issues such as attachment wounds and difficult emotions. Sally encourages clients to notice patterns in relationships and to try new ways of responding when old habits no longer work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures. Sally blends a few different approaches to suit each person. Her work includes Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for emotion regulation skills, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address painful interaction patterns.
She adapts techniques as the sessions progress so the work stays relevant. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental presence and practical discussion about real-life problems. Sally pays attention to how people tell their story and helps them find different interpretations that feel more empowering.
Her aim is to create a dependable space where small changes build into clearer choices. The process often moves at the client’s pace, with time spent on understanding personal history alongside practical coping strategies.

How these therapies work online
Sally uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationship patterns shape current behaviour and reactions. This approach helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings and what can change in present relationships.She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, which focuses on teaching practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing unhelpful reactions. DBT work often includes simple exercises and step-by-step skill practice that suit a remote format.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Treatment is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging fits brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and day to day life, while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
