About Sandra
Sandra Barrett is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Sandra focuses on practical support and steady conversation so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She works with relationship difficulties and grief, and helps people build motivation and self‑esteem. Sandra also offers support around addiction, eating concerns, anger and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her wider interests include attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Sandra listens first, then suggests small, realistic steps to try between meetings.
She aims to keep things straightforward and to help people notice gradual shifts in mood and routine. Her way of working draws on attachment ideas and client‑centred listening, with occasional solution‑focused tools and motivational interviewing to spark change. Sandra balances short‑term practical goals with space to reflect on deeper patterns when that feels useful.
People choosing her practice can expect a calm, respectful approach that values their pace and priorities. Sandra encourages honesty about what is and isn’t working and adapts sessions as needs evolve.

Online support
Client‑centred counselling focuses on being listened to without judgement. The therapist offers empathic reflection and gives the person space to lead the conversation, which can help when someone is feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
Motivational interviewing is a practical way to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. It uses short conversations to build confidence and set achievable next steps, useful for issues like addictions, motivation or making lifestyle adjustments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods that feel helpful. Decisions are made together, so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are good for face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check‑ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
