About Sandra

Sandra Holden helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those coping with life changes and moments that feel overwhelming. Sandra uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to make progress feel possible.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. That means listening carefully and following the person’s pace. Sandra also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and build helpful habits.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped to each individual. Sandra explains options, discusses goals, and works with people to try small changes between meetings. The approach is collaborative and pragmatic rather than prescriptive.

With 12 years of experience, Sandra has worked with a wide range of everyday challenges. She emphasises sensitivity and compassion while keeping conversations clear and actionable. Practical tools and short experiments are often part of the work.

Sandra holds BACP, which is listed among her professional details. People who prefer talking over video, phone, chat or text can explore those formats. The initial steps are simple and supported by a short matching process to help find a good fit.

Approaches and online therapy options

Sandra uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the pace the person finds helpful; it helps when someone needs empathy and time to make sense of things. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This collaborative process means the chosen techniques reflect the person’s needs, preferences, and progress rather than a fixed template.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and situations. Video calls work well for conversational sessions and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections, or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or limited free time while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
