Sandra Adams, BACP, NCPS

Sandra Adams is a counsellor with 26 years of experience helping people face relationship and sexual intimacy concerns, addictions, anxiety and depression. She works in a straightforward way and focuses on what people want to change. Sandra aims to build a respectful, caring space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and find practical steps forward.

She uses approaches that centre the client’s experience and help people make changes that fit their lives. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours with cognitive behavioural techniques, or focusing on strengths and small, achievable goals with solution-focused work. Sandra brings a flexible, person-centred attitude that adapts to each person’s pace and needs.

Her background includes work with people affected by domestic abuse, sexual and gambling difficulties, and she has created support groups for family and friends of people with gambling problems. Sandra also offers clinical supervision alongside her counselling practice.

Sandra supports people facing issues such as intimacy and sexual concerns, attachment or abandonment worries, body image, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship conflict, and the stress of caregiving. She also addresses problems like infidelity, codependency, anger, and life changes that affect wellbeing.

Sessions are conducted in English and Sandra works with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Sandra’s approaches can work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions; this can be useful for discussing intimacy, attachment or emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship triggers. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what is already working well; it is a good fit when someone wants short-term, goal-focused change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss options with each person and try different ways of working to see what fits best. The process is collaborative - goals, pace and techniques are agreed together and adjusted as needs evolve.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them fit therapy around work, family and travel by removing commuting time and making scheduling simpler. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid video when people prefer less visual focus. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can adapt these practical benefits to support ongoing therapy and real-life change.
