Sandra Silva Juhasz, BACP

Sandra Silva Juhasz offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and the big shifts that often come in midlife. She welcomes conversations about difficult feelings, unhelpful patterns and the effects of past trauma. Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental so clients can feel heard and understood.

Sandra is a BACP counsellor, which means she works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework. She blends several approaches to suit each person rather than using a single method. This helps her tailor sessions to what a client needs in the moment.

In practice she often looks at how early relationships and attachment shape current behaviour and feelings. She uses cognitive ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, and she draws on emotionally-focused methods to help people express and process strong feelings. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to bring calm and clearer perspective.

Sandra has five years of experience and has worked in a range of settings, including within the NHS. Her work covers many concerns such as family of origin issues, abandonment, communication problems, loss, intimacy difficulties, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress. She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT related matters.

Sessions are offered in English, Spanish and Portuguese. People interested in starting can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to Sandra's schedule.

How Sandra’s approaches work online

Many of Sandra's methods focus on how people relate to themselves and others. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence present feelings and reactions, which can help with trust, intimacy and avoiding repeated hurts. Client-centred work offers a listening, accepting space so people can talk through thoughts and feelings and find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust them as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to speak in the language you prefer, as Sandra offers sessions in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Registered or accredited professionals can support this same relational and practical work through remote sessions, and Sandra will help plan a format that suits everyday routines and goals.
