About Sandra

Sandra Holden helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She works in a straightforward, conversational way, using client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sandra is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience.

Her sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She listens to what matters to each person and adapts how she works to suit their concerns. Conversations often include looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and trying out small changes between meetings.

Sandra uses Client-Centred Therapy to build understanding around a person’s own priorities. That approach involves reflecting what someone says and helping them find their own solutions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers tools for managing anxiety and low mood.

People come for short-term support to cope with a sudden change, or for longer work on confidence and patterns that repeat. Sessions are practical and focused on clear steps the person can use day to day. The style is direct but respectful, and aims to make progress that fits into ordinary life.

She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. Before booking, readers should follow the site instructions to confirm current session arrangements and any costs.

How Sandra uses her approaches in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and relies on careful listening and reflection. In this approach the counsellor encourages people to find their own insights and next steps, which can help when confidence or motivation feels low.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves looking at how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings. It often includes simple exercises and practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and anger management.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences and suggest what might work best. That plan can change as the work progresses, and methods can be mixed to suit what the person needs.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Many people find online sessions suit a quieter break in the day, avoid travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often work this way to make counselling fit around work and family commitments.
