About Sandra
Sandra Adams works from a client-centred approach and combines practical techniques to help people make changes. She brings 26 years of experience to sessions and aims to create calm, respectful spaces for honest conversation. Sandra has supported people facing addictions, including gambling, and those dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues.
She also helps with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges such as anger, low self esteem and stress. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including grief, career questions, money worries and life transitions.
Background and approach
Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and complex topics such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture. Sandra has run groups for family and friends affected by a loved one’s gambling and offers clinical supervision to other professionals.
Sandra is accredited with BACP and NCPS and has spent many years working with people from varied backgrounds. She combines a client-centred stance with elements of cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused work to meet real-world problems in straightforward ways. In sessions she listens first and tailors the pace to each person.
Conversations cover immediate coping strategies and longer-term patterns. People can expect clear, practical steps alongside time to talk through what matters most to them. Sandra works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
She accepts international clients and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Approaches Sandra lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical tools for anxiety, low mood and stress by testing unhelpful thoughts and building new coping habits.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and what already works for a person. It suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented sessions to move forward quickly.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will discuss what you want to achieve, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust the way you work together as needed. The emphasis is on finding what helps you most, not imposing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversational session, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins and text-based messaging lets people reflect and respond in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel, and to keep momentum between sessions.
