About Sandra
AASW social worker with 5 years of experience, Sandra Jonah helps people manage addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and issues with self-esteem. She practises a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing.
Sandra listens for what matters most to each person and uses clear, practical steps in sessions. She talks through coping strategies for addiction and guides people who are dealing with separation, domestic violence or complex grief. She also helps people work through feelings of guilt, shame and isolation.
Her style focuses on building on a person’s existing strengths. That can mean identifying values and actions with ACT, looking at unhelpful thinking with CBT, or exploring attachment patterns that affect relationships. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want clearer reasons to change behaviour.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Sandra explains ideas plainly and works with clients to set realistic steps between meetings. She encourages small, concrete changes that add up over time.
Sandra practises in Australia and uses her AASW credential in professional work. Sessions are offered in English. To start, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
Background and approach: Sandra draws from several established methods to suit different concerns. She combines talking therapies with practical tasks you can try between sessions. The emphasis is on doable techniques rather than abstract theory. Over five years she has worked across addictions, relationship breakdown, family difficulties and trauma-related issues, offering a consistent, straightforward way to tackle those problems.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps people who feel stuck or who struggle with avoidance to make consistent, value-driven choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them, useful for anxiety, low mood and addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect present-day connections and can be helpful for people dealing with relationship problems or attachment-related anxiety.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, and then try methods that fit the person’s situation. Sessions can adapt over time as goals change.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a break. They can also support people who prefer not to use video by enabling other arrangements where appropriate. Ask about session length, frequency and any subscription details when scheduling so arrangements match everyday routines.
