How Sandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of each session. It focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions, which can be helpful for issues like anger, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical tools and short exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and managing stress. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for clear, achievable steps and quick progress. It concentrates on strengths and small changes to make everyday life easier. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss goals and preferences and decide collaboratively what to try first, adjusting methods as progress is made. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow conversations from different locations. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals often use online sessions to support continuity of care and practical access while tailoring the format to each person’s needs.
