About Sandra
People contact Sandra for help with relationships, grief, depression and intimacy-related worries. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, addiction, or the ripple effects of separation and family problems. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with attention to both feelings and practical next steps.
Sandra uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs. Client-centred work puts the client’s perspective at the heart of therapy. Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot patterns of thinking and try out new behaviours. Attachment-focused ideas are used when past relationships affect current ones.
Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and steadier coping. Sandra often helps people identify small changes that reduce stress and improve communication. She encourages reflective work about life meaning when that is helpful, drawing on existential and psychodynamic perspectives as appropriate.
Sandra holds BACP accreditation and has practised across a range of settings over 16 years. She welcomes people who want a practical, thoughtful approach to midlife concerns and other common struggles. To begin, people can use the site’s matching process and schedule sessions once a fit is identified.

How Sandra’s approaches work in online therapy
Sandra draws on client-centred work to keep the client’s goals front and centre. This means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and adapt to their pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and trial new behaviours, which can be practised between sessions and reviewed together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss options and test what fits best with a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress or new information emerges.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and help maintain continuity when schedules change. If you need confirmation of which session formats she currently offers, please check the booking details before scheduling so you know the exact options available.
