How Sandra’s approaches work online
Sandra combines client-centred work with CBT and solution-focused techniques to make online therapy practical and personal. Client-Centred Therapy starts by listening and following what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and clear about goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, and offers exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what a person wants to be different, which can quickly build momentum.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to match each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift between listening, skills practice and short goal-focused work as the situation requires.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video helps keep face-to-face contact when that matters. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life and differing daily rhythms.
