About Sandra

Sandra Holden is a counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk about what feels hard and begin to find ways forward. Sandra uses straightforward language and a calm manner to make sessions easy to follow.

She adapts conversations and practical tasks to each person's needs. That might mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behaviour changes, or simply working through strong feelings in the moment.

Background and approach

Sandra prefers clear, practical steps alongside open listening so people leave a session with something they can try. Sandra draws on client-centred therapy to keep the focus on what matters to the person in the room. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help people notice and change thoughts and actions that keep problems going.

These approaches are used together to suit the individual rather than as a fixed programme. People who come to Sandra often want help with everyday pressures, getting on top of anxiety, coping with low mood, or managing anger in healthier ways. She encourages small, manageable goals and checks progress each week so things feel achievable.

Sandra works from the United Kingdom and carries her BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She speaks English and offers a mix of session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How Sandra's Approaches Work Online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The counsellor listens closely, follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own solutions. This approach suits people who need space to understand feelings and make choices at their own pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses short practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and for managing angry reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match goals and personal preferences. That way the style of sessions can change over time as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or when writing things feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility so people can keep up with therapy around work, family or other commitments.
