About Sandra
Sandra Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has 16 years of experience and specialises in common life challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and depression. Sandra focuses on helping people find practical ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
Sandra believes people already have strengths to draw on and acts as a steady, non-judgemental presence in sessions. She helps clients talk through difficult feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and aim to leave people with tools they can use between meetings. Her approach is influenced by existential ideas, which look at meaning, choices and responsibility, and by attachment-informed thinking about close relationships. Sandra also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities.
Cognitive techniques and psychodynamic ideas are blended in when they suit the concern. She has supported people with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, addiction, family problems, communication difficulties, and intimacy-related concerns. Sandra also helps with specific topics such as ageing, abandonment, codependency and coping with major life changes.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sandra works collaboratively to set goals and try approaches that fit each person’s situation and preferences.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Sandra uses Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, values and life choices; this can be useful when someone faces big changes, grief or a sense of uncertainty. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape how people relate now, which helps address communication, intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s priorities first, offering empathic listening and a supportive space to talk things through rather than directing the conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sandra works together with each person to decide which combination of ideas and techniques fits their goals and situation. She reviews progress and adjusts the way sessions are run so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility and can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats help people access therapy whether they are travelling, balancing work, or need different ways to communicate.
