About Sandra
Sandra Henderson is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 16 years of experience in practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, coping with life changes, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and depression.
Sandra listens to what has been happening and what the person wants to change. She offers straightforward ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. That means conversations look at thinking patterns, how relationships affect feelings, and the person’s own priorities. Sandra uses this mix to help people spot patterns and practise new responses.
She also works from psychodynamic and existential perspectives when it helps to look at long-standing patterns or values. Those methods are used to understand how past experiences influence present choices. Sandra aims to balance exploring history with making changes in day-to-day life.
People bring many kinds of concerns, including issues such as abandonment, communication problems, addiction, domestic violence, ageing and bereavement. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international clients, and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work with online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses. It helps when relationship patterns or closeness cause recurring problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours in the present. It offers simple experiments and exercises to change responses to stress and anxiety.Deciding which method to use is collaborative. Sandra will discuss goals and preferences and suggest starting points. She reviews what works over the first few sessions and adjusts the plan with the client.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings, switch off a camera when helpful or join from a different location. Registered or accredited professionals provide care and will agree practical details such as session length, scheduling and cancellation when arranging the first meeting.
