More about Sandra

I am an experienced counsellor who has worked with a charity for several years and I have my own private practice based in Milton Keynes. I provide a comfortable and safe environment to explore with you the reasons that brought you to counselling.
I provide counselling for individuals and couples.
I strongly believe in talk therapy as this provides you with the opportunity and space to explore your concern, worries, fears and anxieties without being judged but just listened to. A lot of people feel anxiety at sometime in their lives and therapy is a positive way of gaining clarity about what you want and how to approach any issues or problems you may have.
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor therefore I have a several different therapies which I can use to personalise your counselling journey they include:
- Psychodynamic - looking at childhood, making links with past and present
- Humanistic/Person-Centred - looking at the here and now
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy - looking at your core beliefs, challenging negative thoughts and perceptions, irrational beliefs and behaviours.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
