About Sandra
Sandra holds NCPS, which she uses as a professional guide. She has practised for around ten years and has supported people through grief, self-esteem issues, and the strains of caregiving. She also works with concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and trauma-related issues.
Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, meaning she does not assume she knows the answer up front. She aims to walk alongside people, offering honest, respectful dialogue and practical ideas chosen for the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas may be used to identify patterns and try new ways of coping.
Sandra also draws on psychodynamic thinking to notice recurring themes from the past that shape present patterns. Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want short-term, goal-driven work to tackle a specific problem or decision. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
People who choose Sandra can expect a thoughtful, steady counsellor who combines listening with practical steps. She speaks English and Twi and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on meeting each person where they are, offering empathy and honest listening so clients feel understood and respected. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, relationship strain and anger by prioritising the client’s goals.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and introduces simple experiments and coping tools. CBT-style techniques are useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, sleep problems and managing unhelpful patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas gently explore recurring themes from earlier life that influence current behaviour and emotional responses, which can be helpful for understanding patterns in relationships and long-standing worries.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more flexible appointments when needed. Many people find that remote work helps maintain continuity during life changes while still allowing the practical focus and reflective space that Sandra offers.
