About Sandra
Sandra Holden helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so parents and individuals can say what matters and be heard. Sandra frames each session around what a person brings in that day and what they want to achieve.
Sandra uses a mix of Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, tailoring conversations and practical tasks to each person.
Background and approach
She focuses on real-life changes such as managing strong emotions, beating negative thinking cycles, and building everyday confidence. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with short practical exercises people can try between meetings. With 12 years of professional experience Sandra offers steady, respectful support.
She explains ideas in simple language and works at a pace that suits the client. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and priorities shift. Sandra is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She practises in the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. People who choose to work with Sandra follow a clear starting process and use tools that fit their life. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful, helping people regain balance and move forward.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses short exercises and practical steps to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaboration means the plan can change if one way of working isn't helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a camera feels unnecessary. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
