About Sandra

Sandra Henderson offers practical, down-to-earth support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships and major life changes. She uses clear, everyday language and simple tools to help people manage grief, trauma, depression and intimacy concerns. Sandra works from the belief that clients bring strengths to each session and she helps people use those strengths to move forward.

With 16 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Sandra blends different ways of working to suit each person she meets. She listens closely, helps clarify what matters most, and suggests small, manageable steps that can make a real difference day to day.

Sandra draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people understand thoughts and feelings, and to try new ways of coping in relationships and daily life.

Sessions focus on practical change as well as understanding. Conversations are paced to match what the client needs, with an emphasis on improving communication, reducing anxious thoughts, and handling life transitions. Sandra also supports people dealing with family problems, addiction, domestic violence, and long-term health and ageing concerns.

People who contact Sandra are guided through a short matching questionnaire and then can arrange sessions to suit their situation. Sessions are offered in English and Sandra accepts international clients residing outside the UK.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sandra commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns, which can help when intimacy or trust is a concern. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then shape sessions around those needs. That means trying different ways of working and agreeing on practical steps that suit each person.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets people use therapeutic tools in the context of their everyday routines while continuing to adjust plans with their therapist.
