Sandra Henderson, BACP

Sandra Henderson is a UK-based therapist with 16 years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has supported people through a wide range of challenges, including stress and anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and other life transitions. Sandra approaches each person with respect for their experience and an emphasis on the strengths they already bring to the work.

Her practice is founded on the belief that individuals are the experts in their own stories, and her role is to provide a calm, non-judgmental space where those stories can be explored. Working collaboratively, she helps clients identify practical strategies and ways of thinking that support emotional wellbeing and improved coping when facing difficult situations.

Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Sandra values that decision. She aims to make the process approachable and supportive, guiding clients as they build insight, develop skills, and work toward the changes they want to make in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sandra often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered principles to tailor work to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change responses to stress, anxiety, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust, which can help with relationship difficulties and attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and reflective support to help clients find their own insights and solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sandra works collaboratively with each client to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates methods as appropriate and encourages a shared decision-making process about how to proceed.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allow for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments, while still working with a registered professional to address stress, relationships, grief, and related concerns.
