About Sandra
Sandra Henderson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, changes in life, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns and depression. Sandra focuses on helping people who are carrying guilt or shame related to these areas. She talks through what has happened and helps clients identify manageable next steps.
She uses a range of therapeutic approaches depending on the person and the issue. Session work commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings. Client-centred methods are used to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive behavioural techniques can help with unhelpful thinking and practical coping strategies.
Sandra has seen many people over her career and combines reflective discussion with practical tasks. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and make clearer decisions about relationships and daily life. This includes work around abandonment, codependency, communication and commitment concerns.
Her background also covers issues such as addiction, domestic violence, divorce, aging and neurodiversity, alongside anxiety and depression. Sandra supports people who want to process grief, rebuild after separation, or address intimacy-related difficulties. She keeps explanations direct and focuses on steps someone can take between sessions.
If you are carrying guilt or shame from a past choice or from ongoing relationships, Sandra offers sessions that look at feelings and actions. To begin, follow the site’s matching steps and schedule an initial appointment to discuss what you want from therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can use this approach to look at patterns in relationships and the emotions they trigger, which helps when guilt or shame links to intimacy or abandonment issues.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s concerns and priorities first. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflecting what is said and helping the client find their own answers to difficult feelings.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that keep distress going. Online meetings can include practical exercises, thought records and small behavioural tasks to try between sessions, useful for anxiety, depression and guilt-driven rumination.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the focus can shift if needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so practical steps and reflective conversation work well in a remote setting.
