About Sandra
Sandra is a BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years' experience working in a range of settings, including time within the NHS. That background means she is familiar with common pressures people face when life changes or health problems affect day-to-day routines.
Her approach blends several methods to suit the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script. Sandra uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. She also works with cognitive-behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and she draws on client-centred practice to keep sessions grounded in the person’s priorities.
Sandra commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps with issues such as chronic pain, illness and disability, caregiver stress, body image, and family of origin concerns.
Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and practical coping. Sandra helps people recognise repeating patterns, try different ways of relating, and build clearer choices about next steps. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

How Sandra's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repetitive ways of relating. It can be useful for understanding relationship difficulties, abandonment fears and attachment issues. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small, practical changes to how someone thinks and acts. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and managing stressful situations. Client-centred practice means the counsellor follows the person's concerns, reflecting and clarifying what matters most so sessions feel relevant and person-led.Finding the right approach is typically a collaborative process. Sandra will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit what the person hopes to achieve. Together they decide whether to focus on thinking patterns, relationship dynamics, or a mix of approaches.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or options that avoid video if bandwidth or comfort are an issue. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
