Sally Masson

Sally Masson sees therapy as a catalyst for meaningful change, supporting people who want more enriching and satisfying relationships with themselves, family members, colleagues and friends.

At times the work she offers asks for significant changes; at other times a fresh way of looking at a problem is enough to restore a sense of control and personal agency. She recognises that some people grew up without feeling known by their families, and that history can sometimes require deeper, more intensive work.

Some clients become anxious about strong feelings such as anger, and may come to believe those emotions are wrong or shameful - a belief that can leave them feeling isolated. Sally aims to normalise and explore these experiences rather than amplify the shame around them.

She encourages creative ways of thinking and the exploration of alternative perspectives on the self and the world. Constantly appraising and adapting the therapeutic work, she and the client investigate the client’s inner life together. To be listened to by a non-judgmental witness can be transformative, and Sally believes powerful change often happens with the steady companionship of a caring therapist. This commitment underpins her approach to developing the therapeutic relationship and the work itself.
