About Sandra
Sandra WIllis is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She describes herself as an integrative therapist who helps people reduce psychological distress by working on process, setting goals and clarifying what they really want. Sandra lists stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and ADHD among her main concerns.
She explains that therapy involves talking through problems, setting practical aims and thinking about options for change. Sessions focus on what feels important to the person and on small steps that can be taken between meetings. Sandra adapts how she communicates and plans work to fit each person's situation.
Sandra also notes additional focus areas including attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, body image, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, co-morbidity, commitment and communication problems, eating and food-related difficulties, feelings of emptiness, family problems and fertility concerns. She has experience working in schools and agencies, where much of her work involved adolescents.
Her approach is practical and process-oriented. She encourages people to set achievable goals and to consider what matters most after changes at work, in relationships or with health. Sandra says she treats people with respect and sensitivity and will work collaboratively on a treatment plan.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Her profile describes an integrative, evidence-based approach that draws on practical techniques to reduce distress. One common strand in integrative work is goal-focused therapy, which breaks larger concerns into achievable steps and helps people measure progress. This can be helpful for people who feel stuck after a change at work, in a relationship or with health.Another typical element is process-oriented work that concentrates on how thoughts and feelings affect daily behaviour. This helps when anxiety, low mood or difficulties with attention get in the way of everyday tasks. Both approaches aim to make sessions practical and to identify small tasks to try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to agree what to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean adjusting focus as therapy progresses, or setting short-term aims to test what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, appointments and family time. Online meetings can reduce the need to travel and can make shorter check-ins easier to schedule, while phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth or no video is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which session pattern best fits everyday life.
