Sandra Henderson, BACP

Sandra Henderson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and major life changes. She brings 16 years of experience and a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sandra aims to create a calm space where people can talk through problems and find practical steps forward.

She believes each person knows their story best and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and guided by what matters most to the individual. Practical strategies are mixed with reflection to help with mood, coping and relationship patterns.

Sandra draws on several approaches to shape her work, including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses these to help people understand recurring patterns, reduce distressing thoughts, and try small, realistic changes between sessions.

Her background includes many years supporting people with trauma, addiction and family problems as well as grief and separation. The BACP credential listed with her name is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration shown in her profile.

Sandra works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She also accepts international clients. For practical steps to begin, people are asked to use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Sandra's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice patterns in close relationships and practise new responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement; online conversations can still offer a steady, respectful space to talk through what feels difficult. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into practical steps; this approach often includes homework tasks and simple experiments that suit remote sessions well.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. Sandra will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as work progresses. The aim is to find a way of working that fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single model.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to do practical between-session tasks in their own routines while keeping conversations focused on change and coping.
