About Sandra

Sandra Henderson works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and coping with life changes using a person-centred way of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years of experience in the UK.

Sandra asks people to bring their experience and concerns into therapy so they can make sense of them together. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters now. Practical strategies can be discussed alongside talking through difficult feelings and memories.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thinking and to develop coping skills for anxiety and low mood.

Sandra has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, domestic violence, addiction, relationship breakdown and bereavement. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, family problems, and life-stage stresses such as ageing or separation.

She aims to help people notice repeating patterns, develop clearer communication, and make practical changes that reduce everyday stress. Sessions are collaborative, with attention to both feelings and practical steps. People are helped to set goals and to review progress as therapy continues.

How her approaches are used in remote counselling

Sandra commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with relationship difficulties and intimacy issues. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and helping the client find their own solutions, which can be useful for grief, change and low mood.

She also uses cognitive behavioural approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build practical coping skills for anxiety and stress. CBT techniques are often brief and action-focused, which can suit people who want specific steps to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss different methods and agree collaboratively which to use based on the person's goals and preferences. This helps to shape sessions so they focus on the issues the person brings and on clear, reviewable aims.

Details of session formats are not included in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, making shorter check-ins possible, or allowing sessions from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals can offer remote sessions that help people maintain continuity of care and keep progress moving forward.
