Sandra Henderson, BACP

Sandra Henderson is a UK-based, BACP-credentialed therapist with 16 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, and grief. She works from the view that each person knows their own story best and that those lived strengths are a foundation for change. Sandra offers a calm, non-judgmental therapeutic space where experiences can be explored and practical strategies developed to improve everyday wellbeing.

Her practice emphasises collaboration - she partners with clients to identify goals, notice patterns, and try tools that fit each individual situation. Whether someone is coping with loss, navigating relationship challenges, or working through addictive behaviours, Sandra focuses on helping them build understanding and manageable steps forward. The BACP credential indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting a commitment to professional standards in the UK.

Beginning therapy is often an act of courage, and Sandra values that first step. She aims to make the process accessible and supportive, guiding clients as they work toward greater clarity, resilience, and improved coping in the face of life’s difficulties.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Sandra Henderson

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and significant relationships shape emotional needs and relational patterns. It can help people understand fears of abandonment, trust issues, and ways of relating that show up in adult friendships and partnerships. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process - the therapist offers empathic listening, acceptance, and support so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-awareness and confidence when facing life changes or emotional distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works with thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns.

Sandra approaches choice of method as a collaborative conversation. She will work with each person to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find ways of working that feel right for the individual rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with Sandra is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to connect from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Registered professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to support steady progress and practical change over time.
