About Sandra

Sandra Henderson is a counsellor with 16 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or relationship and intimacy issues. Sandra listens without judgement and helps people name what matters to them and take small practical steps forward.

Sandra uses straightforward talking therapy and practical techniques to help people feel steadier day to day. She believes clients already have strengths they can use and works with those strengths to tackle problems like panic, low mood, substance misuse and the fallout from trauma or abuse.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be calm, focused and realistic. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to keep sessions grounded in what the person wants to work on.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want concrete tools to change thinking and behaviour. Sandra has supported people through divorce, family problems, bereavement and life transitions. She also has experience addressing issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems and coping after disasters.

Her work includes concerns linked to autism and personality differences when these affect everyday wellbeing. Sandra holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP in her credentials. She offers help in English and is available to work with clients in the UK and internationally via online formats.

How Sandra's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape trust and closeness now. Online sessions can be a place to notice patterns in relationships and practise different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person at their own pace. This approach suits talking through difficult feelings and deciding what matters most in therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will talk with the client about goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a way forward together. She tailors the mix of listening and practical tasks so the client feels involved in choosing what to try next.

Online formats offer a range of practical options. Video calls let people see facial expressions and body language which helps when unpacking relationships. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is tiring. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
