About Sandra
Sandra Adams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has 26 years of practice in the United Kingdom working with people facing issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, trauma, addictions and life changes.
Sandra works with individuals and with couples across a wide range of concerns. She has experience with domestic abuse, psycho-sexual and gambling addictions, and has run a Family and Friends group for people affected by someone else’s gambling. She lists life purpose among the topics she will help people consider.
Her day-to-day approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often centre on what the person wants to change, practical steps to try between meetings, and space to talk through feelings and difficult experiences.
Sandra describes herself as an integrative counsellor who adapts methods to each person. In practice this looks like a mix of listening, asking questions that clarify patterns, and suggesting small experiments to test new ways of coping or communicating.
People who come with anger, attachment or intimacy concerns can expect direct work on communication and boundaries. Those coping with grief, caregiver stress, body image, codependency or financial worries can expect a practical focus on daily strategies and problem solving.
How Sandra uses practical approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them clarify feelings and priorities. It suits people who need an understanding listener and time to make sense of change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to alter unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and some relationship difficulties.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable goals and building on what already works. It can be useful for people who want short-term, action-oriented work to move past feeling stuck.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sandra will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the person and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt CBT exercises and solution-focused tasks to remote sessions and focus on improving communication, coping and daily routines.
