About Sandra
Sandra Beltran is an ACA counsellor with eight years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, eating concerns and low self-esteem. She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and aims to offer steady support while people work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.
Sandra takes a strengths-based, holistic approach that looks beyond symptoms to the life someone wants to build. She listens for values and priorities, then helps clients set small, manageable steps that fit their situation.
How Sandra works
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s readiness for change. Her work includes focused support for people with eating disorders and body image distress, drawing on many years of interest and specialised clinical experience in this area. Sandra helps clients and carers consider treatment pathways and tailors her approach to each person’s needs and stage of recovery.
In conversation she emphasises empathy, respect and unconditional positive regard. Practical tools, skill-building and clear goal setting are balanced with a supportive relationship. She encourages clients to use their strengths while learning new ways to manage difficult feelings and behaviours.
Sandra welcomes people who are ready to explore change and regain a sense of confidence and direction. She helps break down big problems into manageable steps and supports clients as they work toward a more fulfilling life.

How Sandra adapts evidence-based care for online therapy
Two evidence-based approaches Sandra uses are skill-building strategies and a collaborative problem-solving method. Skill-building focuses on practical tools such as breathing and grounding techniques, goal setting and behaviour changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Collaborative problem solving helps people break down complex issues into small steps and test different ways of coping to see what works best.She also applies focused treatment for eating concerns that looks at patterns of eating, body image and daily routines, and then adapts support to the person’s stage of recovery. These approaches aim to be concrete and actionable so clients can practise them between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sandra works with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and pace are made together so the therapy fits the person rather than the other way round.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit support around work, study and family commitments.
