Dr Sasha Lillie Lyons

Experience in perinatal health 

I have lots of experience in providing short-term and long-term psychological therapy to women experiencing fertility issues and pregnancy loss; and experience of working with women throughout their pregnancies and in the weeks and months after birth, both in the NHS and private practice.

I have worked with a wide range of clients in different situations, including blended families, single parents, same-sex couples and adoptive parents; and those who are navigating pregnancy and the perinatal period alongside additional challenges such as managing sibling dynamics, marital difficulties, or the impact of past trauma.

I can provide work in Fertility and Loss, During Pregnancy and After Birth.

What drew you to this work? 

I was first drawn to perinatal work when I became a parent myself, navigating the challenges of pregnancy and the first ups and downs of motherhood! Having that “expertise of experience” has been so helpful in understanding and working alongside clients who are on this journey.

How do you work? 

I take an integrative approach, which means my work is always collaborative and led by what the client would find most helpful (and if you’re not sure what you’d find useful, we can talk about that together!)

Sessions may incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Compassion Focused Therapy; Solution Focused and Narrative Therapies; Dyadic Developmental Therapy; and systemic and psychodynamic approaches.

I am particularly interested in attachment-based and relational work, and incorporating ideas from clients’ own family, cultural and faith backgrounds.

Anything else about you?

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading novels, exploring London, and balancing the buzz of the city with spending time in nature – hiking, running and outdoor swimming. I love travel and am especially happy anywhere with sunshine, beaches or mountains!
