Sandra WIllis
Practical, compassionate integrative counsellor
About Sandra
Sandra WIllis trained as an integrative counsellor and has practised in the United Kingdom for four years. She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sandra believes people can grow and change and aims to support that process in straightforward ways.
Sandra helps people reduce distress by working through immediate problems and setting clear goals. Sessions focus on what someone actually wants and needs, not on jargon. She adapts communication and plans to suit each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Common concerns Sandra addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and attention differences such as ADHD. She also offers support around attachment matters, neurodiversity, blended family issues, body image and long-term illness or pain. Her background includes counselling work in schools and agency settings, which informed her practical, down-to-earth style.
Those four years of practice mean she is used to helping people who bring a mix of life and health challenges. Sandra takes a collaborative, goal-focused approach. She explores what’s getting in the way, helps people develop coping strategies, and reviews progress together.
The work is paced to each person’s needs and comfort. If someone is ready to start, Sandra encourages a simple first step: complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange a time to begin. She aims to make the process clear and manageable.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Sandra uses integrative, evidence-based techniques tailored to each person. Integrative work draws on different therapeutic ideas to match what someone needs, mixing practical coping skills with talking through feelings. This helps when worries, low mood or relationship problems overlap and a single method would feel limiting.She also focuses on goal-setting and problem-solving. These methods break down bigger concerns into clear steps and rehearse new ways of handling difficult moments, which suits people who want concrete change and direction.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Sandra will discuss options and try out strategies together, checking what feels helpful and adjusting over time to fit the client’s needs and aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which together offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
