About Sandra

Sandra Milburn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and relationship worries. Sandra is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She has nine years of professional experience and offers a calm, steady presence for people who are ready to make a change. Sandra believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy.

Background and approach

She listens closely and helps people find practical ways forward. Sessions focus on what feels most important to the client and on small steps that build confidence. Her approach combines client-centred listening with trauma-focused work and existential ideas about meaning and choice.

Sandra may also use mindfulness and hypnotherapy to help with symptoms such as sleep difficulty, racing thoughts or low mood. She chooses methods that fit the person's needs rather than following a rigid plan. People come to Sandra for a range of concerns including coping with life changes, career stresses, compassion fatigue and LGBT-related issues.

She aims to create an atmosphere where people feel heard and can try out new responses to old problems. Practical matters are discussed clearly at the start of therapy. Sandra supports people through the early steps of change, from identifying goals to testing what works in day-to-day life.

How trauma-informed and client-centred work translates online

Sandra uses trauma-focused approaches to help people process distressing experiences and reduce triggers. This work aims to pace conversations so people feel able to revisit difficult memories and learn coping strategies. Client-centred therapy is about listening without judgement and helping people set their own goals, emphasising the person's strengths and choices.

She also draws on existential therapy when discussions turn to meaning, purpose or difficult life decisions. That approach helps people weigh options and find ways to live more in line with their values. Together these methods give a practical mix: space to tell a story, tools to manage symptoms, and reflection about what matters next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will talk with each person about their history, goals and preferences and will adapt methods as therapy progresses. The choice of techniques is collaborative and reviewed over time to ensure the sessions remain useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can fit a short break or avoid screen fatigue. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain consistency and try approaches that suit day-to-day life.
