About Sandra

Sandra Adams is a counsellor with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addiction and grief. Sandra aims to meet each person with empathy, respect and sensitivity so they can feel heard and understood.

How Sandra’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and listens. This approach helps people feel understood and decide what matters most to work on.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and developing coping skills for stress or cravings.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and goals. It helps people spot what is already working and build straightforward plans to move forward from there.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, preferences and goals and together decide which methods to try. That shared decision-making helps shape clear, realistic steps.
