About Sandra
Sandra WIllis is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem and ADHD. Sessions focus on helping clients reduce psychological distress and set practical goals.
Sandra describes her approach as integrative. She uses talking, planning and reflective work to help people clarify what they want and need. The emphasis is on process and goal-setting rather than on jargon or tests.
She has experience supporting people with a wide range of issues. These include attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family matters, body image, chronic illness and pain, and fertility and caregiver stress. She also addresses eating and food-related problems, communication and control difficulties, and feelings of emptiness.
Sandra has worked in school settings and in an agency, so she is used to responding to practical and emotional problems that affect everyday life. Her sessions aim to be straightforward, with clear steps and discussion about what changes could help. People can expect a conversational style that focuses on immediate problems and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions
Integrative talking therapy combines different evidence-based techniques to suit the person in front of the counsellor. It can include straightforward cognitive work to notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and behavioural steps to practise new responses to anxiety or avoidance. This helps with issues such as social anxiety, worry and low mood.Another useful element is goal-focused planning. This involves setting small, practical steps and reviewing progress together. It is helpful for people who want clear actions to reduce stress, manage ADHD-related tasks or improve relationship communication.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Sandra will work together with the client to decide which approaches to try, based on the person’s concerns, goals and preferences. The plan can change as work progresses, with regular check-ins about what is helping.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a daily routine, for example by avoiding travel or by allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. It can also permit phone-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or video is not preferred.
