About Sandra

Sandra Henderson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and major life changes. She is named Sandra Henderson and brings 16 years of experience to her work in the United Kingdom. Her approach emphasises listening and practical steps people can use between sessions.

Sandra works in a straightforward, person-centred way. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them notice strengths they already have. Conversations are intended to be clear and grounded, with time spent building simple, usable strategies that fit everyday life.

Her background blends several therapeutic approaches. Sandra draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feeling safe with others. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people recognise and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Psychodynamic and existential ideas are woven in when exploring deeper life themes and long-held patterns.

Sandra has supported people through a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, domestic violence, addiction, family problems and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, intimacy-related concerns and ageing issues.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Sandra asks about goals and priorities early on, then works with clients to try practical steps and reflect on what is most helpful. If you want to know more about how she works, follow the Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.

How Sandra’s approaches work in online therapy

Sandra often combines attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide her work. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier and current relationships shape trust and closeness, which can help with intimacy issues and relationship stress. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Sandra will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. She aims to adapt the work as you learn what helps and what does not, so sessions evolve with your needs.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets conversations happen from wherever you are based, which can make regular appointments simpler to keep.
