Sandra Henderson, BACP

Sandra Henderson works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and major life changes. She greets people with a calm, straightforward approach and helps them find practical steps to feel steadier. Sandra holds BACP, which indicates membership of the UK counselling and psychotherapy association, and she brings 16 years of experience to her work.

Sandra believes people already carry strengths that help them through hard times. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps clients make sense of difficult feelings. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on small changes that add up over time.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Elements of psychodynamic and existential thinking may be used where they fit a client's story.

Sandra has supported people with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and grief. This includes issues such as addiction, domestic violence, communication problems, codependency, and ageing-related worries. She also helps with intimacy-related difficulties and trauma and abuse recovery.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Sandra helps people set clear goals and review progress regularly. The focus is on work that can be used between sessions to build resilience and improve daily life.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. The approach is adaptable and paced to each person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy and chosen therapeutic approaches

Sandra draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and supports building safer, more secure ways of relating.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour changes. CBT is often useful when anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits are getting in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can help fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel and making scheduling easier. It can allow shorter check-ins, therapy around work breaks, or sessions when leaving home is difficult. Because this biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know what will suit your routine and goals.
