About Sandra

Sandra Adams is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS accreditation and 26 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and anger. Sandra also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma, grief and parenting strain.

Her background includes long-term work with people affected by gambling and domestic abuse. She has run groups for friends and family of people with gambling problems and has provided clinical supervision to other practitioners. Her practice covers intimacy-related difficulties, LGBT issues, and a wide range of relationship concerns including communication, infidelity and commitment problems.

Sandra uses Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches in her work. She aims to be straightforward in sessions and helps people identify practical steps to manage stress, reduce anger and rebuild trust. Sessions can include talking through patterns, trying behavioural experiments and setting small goals between meetings.

She also works with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency and the needs of caregivers. Sandra supports people dealing with life transitions, career pressures, money worries and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Sandra draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her. That means listening carefully, reflecting what comes up and helping clients find their own answers for relationship or anger problems.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often involves trying small changes between sessions, which can help with stress, anxiety and managing anger in day-to-day life.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical steps and what helps most right now. It suits people who want short, goal-focused work on issues such as communication, addiction-related problems or coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sandra works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Clients and the counsellor review progress and adjust the focus as needed.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Many people find this helps them keep consistency while working on anger, relationships and stress.
