Approaches Sandra lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Sandra works online
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for goal-directed work, helping clients identify small, useful changes to move forward more quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose which methods to use and adjust them as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often tailor online sessions to suit a person’s schedule and daily routines.
