About Sandra

Sandra Milburn is a counsellor who works from an existential perspective alongside client-centred methods. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma find clearer ways to move forward. Sandra also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, relationship concerns, sleeping problems and career or life changes.

Sandra holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She brings nine years of professional practice to her work and uses straightforward conversation to help people spot what matters to them.

Background and approach

She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for each person’s existing strengths. Sessions typically focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Sandra uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when helpful, and she can introduce gentle hypnotherapy techniques for relaxation or to support coping.

The emphasis is on practical steps and simple, usable tools rather than complex jargon. People often come to Sandra worried about repeating patterns, feeling stuck, or coping after difficult experiences. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

Conversations cover goals, choices and how to make small changes that add up over time. Work is person-led and collaborative. Sandra helps people clarify values, weigh options and build habits that support everyday life.

She encourages short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection when that feels right.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sandra combines existential thinking with client-centred work to help people clarify their values and make practical choices. Existential therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and what matters to the person, which can help when life feels uncertain or directionless. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and meeting the person where they are, which can help people feel heard and understood.

She also uses hypnotherapy in a gentle way to support relaxation and behaviour change. Hypnotherapy can be useful for sleeping difficulties, stress reduction and building new habits when someone wants a practical tool to complement talking therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Sandra treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss different methods and test what helps most, adapting plans to a person’s goals, needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging works well for people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
