About Sandra

Sandra Xavier works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and low self-esteem using a person-centred way of working. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience in the UK.

Sandra focuses on helping people talk through everyday pressures and emotional pain. She encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while the conversation stays practical and grounded. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to find manageable steps forward.

Her approach combines client-centred counselling, emotionally-focused therapy and psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens closely to present feelings, pays attention to how relationships affect wellbeing, and notices patterns that repeat over time. These threads guide the work rather than a fixed set of techniques.

Sandra has helped people with a range of concerns including abandonment and attachment worries, body image and sexuality, caregiver stress, work pressure, and social anxiety. She also works with issues such as divorce and separation, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and finding life purpose.

Sessions are conducted in English and Hindi for people in the United Kingdom. Sandra uses a collaborative style and aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on practical change. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Sandra uses different counselling approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own views at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens without directing, helps people name their concerns, and supports them to make their own decisions; this approach is useful for low self-esteem and day-to-day stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions are experienced and expressed in close relationships. It helps people notice patterns in emotional responses and work on communication and connection when relationship issues are the focus.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeated patterns and early relationship influences. It can be helpful when past experiences affect current behaviour and feelings, such as attachment problems or long-standing guilt and shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss which methods seem most helpful based on the client's concerns, goals and preferences, and will make this a collaborative decision rather than a fixed plan.
