About Sandra
Counsellor, BACP member, 9 years' experience. Sandra Milburn helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, sleeping problems, career questions and coping with life changes.
Sandra works from a client-centred stance. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and uses that as a starting point for change. Her approach also draws on existential ideas about meaning, mindfulness practices for calming the body, solution-focused steps to build immediate momentum, and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Sessions aim to identify what is most urgent and practical for the person in front of her. Conversations tend to focus on coping strategies, examining choices, and building small, manageable steps forward. Sandra offers time to reflect and space to plan next actions rather than long technical explanations.
She has nine years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). That membership is listed as BACP in her credentials.
People usually start by describing a current problem such as overwhelming stress, sleep disruption or trouble at work. From there she works collaboratively to set short-term goals and to consider other approaches that might help as therapy progresses.

How Sandra’s approaches work in online sessions
Sandra draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, helping people make sense of their choices and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and to calm sleep and anxiety problems.She also uses Solution-Focused steps to identify small, achievable changes that can be tried between sessions. These short practical tasks help people see progress and refine what works. The therapist treats selecting an approach as collaborative and will discuss what fits best based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences.
The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments around work or family routines. If you want to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking since options are not specified here. Many people find remote meetings make it easier to attend brief check-ins, use audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited, or schedule therapy without travel time.
