About Sandra

Sandra Henderson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and depression. She also supports concerns around trauma and abuse, intimacy, and coping with life changes.

Sandra treats each person as the expert on their own life. She uses approaches including attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential thinking and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps and on understanding how past patterns affect current feelings and choices.

People can expect straightforward conversation about what is causing distress and what might help. Sandra helps identify habits and beliefs that keep problems going and then practises small, workable changes in the session. She balances exploring early relational patterns with concrete tools for mood and anxiety management.

Her background includes many years helping people through loss, separation and addiction-related difficulties, plus issues connected to ageing, attachment and communication problems. That experience informs how she notices recurring themes and brings them into focus during sessions.

Sandra works in plain language and aims to clarify options so people can make practical decisions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are used to agree priorities and how to proceed. If you want to check whether her ways of working fit, follow the See online therapy options route to book a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. In online sessions this means noticing recurring responses in relationships and using discussion and exercises to build different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what someone says. That helps people clarify their own priorities and decide what practical steps they want to try. Cognitive behavioural techniques identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then test small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they pick methods to try and check how those methods are working as sessions progress.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins or remove the need to travel. It can also let a person choose sessions that match their energy level - for example a focused practical check-in or a longer reflective hour - while the therapist helps adapt the chosen approaches to the online setting.
