Sandra Henderson offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by major life stresses. She helps with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship worries and trauma. Sandra keeps sessions straightforward and focused so people can make changes that matter to them.

She works from the belief that each person knows their own story and already has strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and respectful, with space to tell what has happened and time to develop small, usable strategies.

Background and approach

Sandra aims to reduce pressure and make therapy feel manageable rather than daunting. Sandra has 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over that time she has helped people navigate life changes, addiction, family problems and the emotional aftermath of abuse.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and practical cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix lets her address feelings, relationship patterns and day-to-day coping skills in the same conversation. She also uses psychodynamic and existential perspectives when exploring deeper patterns and life meaning.

Sessions can include brief practical exercises and longer reflective work depending on what a person needs. Sandra supports people who want clearer communication, better emotion management, and more stable routines after loss or upheaval. She encourages realistic steps that fit into everyday life.

Approaches that guide online work

Sandra commonly combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and attachment-based ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting people to find their own solutions, which is useful for building trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and feelings, which can help with intimacy issues and recurring relationship struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sandra will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try techniques that suit those goals. This collaborative way means approaches can be adapted over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility in how people connect. Video is suited to face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, while live chat and messaging can be useful for paced reflection and day-to-day support. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and different schedules, making it easier to attend regularly and keep progress moving forward.
