About Sandra
Sandra Xavier is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and low self‑esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and focus on what a person wants to change next.
Sandra frames the person as the expert in their own story. She listens to how problems show up in day to day life and helps people notice their strengths. Conversations are practical and direct. The emphasis is on clear steps that feel manageable between sessions.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. That means some work focuses on present feelings and attachments, while other moments look at patterns that repeat over time. Sandra uses what is most useful to the person in front of her rather than a single technique.
People come to her for a mix of concerns - from coping after a separation to questions about life purpose and work stress. She pays attention to how relationships shape mood and decision-making, and helps people name what they want to change next. Sessions aim to make worries more manageable and choices easier to see.

Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, helping them clarify their own goals and choices. It suits people who want a collaborative space to name what matters and decide next steps.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and attachment patterns influence relationships. This approach helps when relationship hurts, separation or recurring conflict are central concerns.
Psychodynamic ideas look for repeating patterns that started earlier in life and still affect current choices. This can be helpful for people who notice similar problems arising across different relationships or situations.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as sessions progress. That collaboration aims to match methods to what is actually helpful for the person's situation.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offering online sessions commonly help people keep therapy practical and consistent with day to day life.
