About Sandra
Counsellor Sandra Henderson is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, with 16 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, coping with life changes, family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and depression.
Sandra frames sessions around what each person brings. She listens and helps people talk through difficult events. She focuses on practical steps as well as understanding how patterns of attachment or past experiences affect current feelings.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques among others. That means she pays attention to relationships and long-term patterns, stays with the person’s concerns, and uses practical strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
Sandra has supported people through bereavement, separation and addiction-related difficulties. She also works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems and ageing concerns. Her background includes helping those affected by domestic violence and trauma-related distress.
Sessions are conducted in English and Sandra accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Approaches used in online counselling and what they do
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It can help when patterns in close relationships cause anxiety or distrust. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and aims to make talking clearer and less pressured. It is useful for building understanding and working through strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sandra will discuss what you want to achieve and test approaches together. Decisions about focus and techniques are collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break or between other commitments. The therapist’s exact session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt pacing and techniques for remote sessions to suit each person’s needs.
