Client-Centred work and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and understood. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting what they say and noticing what matters most. This approach helps when people feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood or relationship problems because it focuses on their experience rather than imposing techniques.For people who have experienced trauma or abuse, a Client-Centred approach offers steady, respectful contact. It allows difficult memories and feelings to be spoken about at a pace the person can manage, and helps with rebuilding trust in relationships and in how one feels about oneself.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Sandra will help clients decide together which methods suit their goals, concerns and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and other daily tasks. It can also allow quieter check-ins that do not need video, reduce travel time, and help people arrange appointments around busy schedules.
