About Sandra

Sandra WIllis is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem problems and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps, setting goals and thinking about what matters next in life.

Sandra uses an integrative approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She aims to reduce psychological distress through a mix of talking, planning and reflection. Conversations cover current problems, repeated patterns and immediate coping strategies.

Her background includes work in schools and agency settings, where she supported adolescents as well as adults. That experience informs how she notices developmental and communication issues alongside everyday worries. Sandra also pays attention to neurodiversity and attachment-related patterns when they affect how people relate to themselves and others.

In sessions she explains options clearly and helps people choose practical next steps. Work may include short-term goals, exploring long-standing difficulties or addressing specific problems like body image, eating concerns, chronic health stress or fertility-related strain. The focus is on what people want to change and how to get started.

People who come when feeling stuck often find the process useful for spotting patterns and trying new ways of coping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button. Fees vary by location and are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sandra uses therapeutic techniques in online sessions

Many of Sandra's methods are drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach involves identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour, then testing small alternative actions to shift those patterns and ease anxiety or low mood. This helps when someone feels stuck in the same responses to stress.

Another common strand is working with relationships and attachment. This looks at how early patterns affect current communication and commitment issues, and then experiments with clearer ways of relating and boundaries. That work can be useful for people feeling overwhelmed by conflicts or repeated relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods fit the client's goals, needs and preferences. The plan can change as sessions progress and as practical priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to check in between other commitments. It also allows for shorter focused appointments when that suits a person's schedule.
