About Sandra

Sandra Xavier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, grief and low self-esteem. She holds BACP registration and brings three years of professional experience to her work. Sandra aims to make the first step easier and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical conversation, clearer understanding and small, manageable steps forward. Sandra uses a mix of Client-Centred, Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ideas to guide her work. That means she listens closely, helps people name feelings and notices patterns that repeat over time.

The emphasis is on understanding how past and present connect to day-to-day struggles. She commonly supports people with issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, caregiving stress, body image and workplace pressure. Other areas include divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and women's issues.

Sessions are available in English and Hindi and can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sandra works with clients across the UK and explains the process clearly so people can decide if it feels like the right fit.

How Sandra's approaches work online

Sandra draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, listening approach where the person directs the pace and content of sessions. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and feel heard. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with emotions in the moment to improve how people connect and communicate in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative so the plan can change as you learn what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
