Sandra WIllis

Sandra WIllis is a counsellor with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses an integrative approach and believes people can grow and change. Sandra focuses on helping people reduce psychological distress by setting goals and thinking about what they really want or need.

She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and communication style. Sandra says she will work with clients to build a plan that fits their situation and aims.

Sandra has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, self-esteem and relationship difficulties, grief and ADHD. Her background includes work in schools and with an agency, where she mainly supported adolescents alongside other clients.

She also helps with a wider range of concerns such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, body image, cancer-related distress, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, co-morbidity and communication problems.

Her practical approach often includes setting clear goals and talking through what changes a person wants to make. Sandra emphasises small, steady steps and supports people as they try new ways of coping and relating.

If someone is ready to start, she asks them to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to her availability.

Approaches and how online work can help

Many therapists who practise integrative work draw on evidence-based techniques that focus on goal setting and practical change. One common approach helps people identify clear goals and breaks those goals into small steps to reduce stress and build confidence. This approach suits anxiety, low self-esteem and practical relationship concerns.

Another useful technique looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. It helps people understand their usual ways of relating and try different responses when communication or trust is a problem. This can be helpful for commitment issues, communication problems and feeling empty or stuck.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

If you are wondering about online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, help keep check-ins brief when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions to continue when schedules are tight, helping people practise new skills between meetings.
