Sandra Henderson

Sandra Henderson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, and major life changes. Sandra also supports people facing trauma, intimacy concerns and depression, and she helps with family-related difficulties and addiction-related challenges.

She starts by listening to what matters to each person and treating them as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer next moves. Sessions aim to open up options rather than promise instant answers.

Sandra draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. That can include attachment-based thinking about how early relationships shape present patterns, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, and client-centred work that keeps the person’s own goals in view. She also uses psychodynamic and existential perspectives when these fit the issue.

People often come to Sandra when they feel stuck after a change, when relationships feel strained, or when grief and loss are hard to carry alongside everyday life. Her way of working balances listening with practical strategies to cope and move forward.

Sessions are structured around the concerns a person brings. Early meetings focus on identifying what matters most and what a useful next step would look like. From there, short-term goals and longer reflections can be combined depending on what the client wants to do next.

How Sandra uses psychological approaches with online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and close connections. Online sessions using this approach can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions and work on different ways of relating.

Client-centred work places the person’s own priorities at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens and reflects so the client can clarify what matters and decide on next steps that feel achievable.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress when people want concrete techniques to change daily patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss options and pick methods together with each person based on needs, goals and what feels comfortable. That collaborative choice may shift as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy manageable alongside work, family and other commitments.
