About Sandra
Sandra Holden supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people manage major life changes and regain motivation and confidence. Sandra writes simply and directly to make reaching out feel less daunting for a worried parent or individual.
Sandra uses a respectful, warm style in sessions. She listens first and tailors conversations to what matters to each person. That means practical steps alongside space to talk, depending on what someone needs that week.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on understanding a person’s experience and building trust through listening. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and helps people try different approaches in everyday life. With 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom, Sandra aims for clear, manageable goals.
Sessions typically cover coping tools, ways to handle strong emotions, and steps to boost confidence and motivation. People meet Sandra to make sense of difficult feelings and to find practical ways forward. She invites clients to shape the pace and focus of the work, and to try methods that fit their daily life.
Sandra asks people to take the first step when they feel ready. She supports the process of change with patience, respect and straightforward, goal-oriented conversations.

How Sandra works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build different habits. This approach works well for anxiety, low mood and managing anger.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. Sandra will work together with each person to agree what feels most useful, mixing listening with practical tasks if that suits the goals. The plan can change as things move forward so it stays relevant to daily life.
Session logistics and formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to continue work between appointments with practical tasks you can try at home.
