About Sandra
Sandra Henderson is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 16 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Sandra speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person she meets.
She believes people already hold strengths that can help them move forward. In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and life changes. She also addresses issues such as codependency, attachment concerns and coping after trauma or loss.
Sandra draws on approaches that centre the person in the room and focus on practical change. She uses client-centred ways of listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to notice patterns and try small, concrete adjustments. She also brings in attachment and psychodynamic perspectives when earlier relationships shape present struggles.
Work with Sandra usually mixes listening, reflection and clear steps clients can try between meetings. She pays attention to how people cope with difficult feelings and to the interactions that keep problems going. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aiming to build clearer choices and more reliable day-to-day routines.
People come to her for help with depression, intimacy-related problems, family stress, addiction and practical coping after major life events. She accepts clients from the UK and internationally, and encourages prospective clients to check session arrangements before booking.
How Sandra blends approaches for online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps when people notice patterns around closeness, trust or fear of abandonment and want clearer ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person's own perspective first, offering empathic listening and acceptance so people can explore what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety, depression or unhelpful routines, and suggests practical changes to try in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra treats this as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods match your goals and preferences. She listens to the difficulties you bring and adapts techniques so they feel useful rather than prescribed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. It can also make it simpler to try practices between meetings and to use written or spoken exercises to track progress. Registered and accredited professionals often combine talking, practical exercises and homework between sessions to support steady change.
