About Sandra

Sandra Milburn works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, plus relationship and career concerns. She uses client-centred, existential and solution-focused approaches and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Sandra believes the person in front of her is the expert on their own life. In sessions she listens for strengths and practical steps people can try between meetings. She offers a clear, conversational style aimed at helping people notice what is getting in the way and what might help next.

Her work includes short-term problem-solving and longer conversations about meaning and values. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want concrete changes quickly. Existential ideas are drawn on when questions about purpose, responsibility or choice are central.

Sandra also uses client-centred methods, which focus on the person’s own goals and pace. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness approaches are included when they suit a person’s preferences and goals. She adapts the mix of methods so sessions stay practical and relevant.

She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, helping them manage symptoms and rebuild routines. Sandra supports those struggling with compassion fatigue and sleep problems, and she helps people coping with life changes and career shifts.

To begin, people are invited to complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sandra uses conversational and practical approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s own goals and pace, and helps people decide what they want to change. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility, and can help when life changes raise difficult questions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and is useful for people who want clear ways to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss these methods with the client and together they will choose what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as work progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time to an appointment. It also allows practical exercises and mindfulness practices to be used at home between sessions, supporting steady progress without promising a specific outcome.
