About Sandra

Sandra Milburn uses a client-centred approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety and traumatic experiences. She works in an open, non-judgemental way and encourages people to lead the pace and focus of each session. Sandra is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises from the United Kingdom.

Sandra draws on several counselling methods to suit each person’s needs. She uses client-centred techniques to listen and reflect what matters to the client.

Background and approach

She also applies existential ideas to explore meaning and personal values when life feels uncertain. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness are tools Sandra may introduce to help with sleep problems, low mood and stress. These approaches are explained clearly and used only when they seem helpful to the person in front of her.

Solution-focused methods support practical steps and short-term goals for change. Over nine years Sandra has supported people through issues such as relationship difficulties, career stress, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue and adjustment to life changes. She sees LGBT concerns alongside anxiety, depression and trauma-related work.

Her style aims to be down-to-earth and respectful rather than clinical or prescriptive. Sessions are practical and conversational. Sandra helps people name what’s hard, consider small changes and practise new ways of coping.

She encourages steady progress and checks in about what feels useful as therapy continues.

Sessions & fees

How Sandra's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions let the counsellor follow the client’s lead while offering steady feedback and empathy. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to talk and be heard.

Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and values. In remote sessions this can help when life changes leave someone questioning purpose or direction. It often involves talking through dilemmas and considering what matters most in daily life.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Sandra will discuss different approaches with the client and choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She uses a collaborative style and checks in regularly about how methods are working.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access from many locations. Video calls are useful for real-time conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. Registered or accredited professionals can provide the same conversational and therapeutic work online as in-person, with options to match comfort and daily life.
