About Sandra

BACP therapist, registered member MBACP, with 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. Sandra Winterbottom focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She offers Client-Centred Therapy as her main approach.

Sandra uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person at the centre of sessions. She listens for what matters most and helps people put words to difficult thoughts and emotions. Sessions are paced by the individual’s needs rather than a set agenda.

Her work often covers immediate concerns like anxiety and stress, alongside longer-term issues such as trauma responses or the impact of bereavement, illness or separation. She also addresses related areas including abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and life-purpose questions.

Over 15 years she has supported people through major life changes and ongoing difficulties. She draws on the core ideas of Client-Centred Therapy to help people reflect, make sense of their experiences, and consider practical next steps. Conversations may include talking through relationship patterns, managing low mood, or developing coping strategies for daily life.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

Client-centred work and how it translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is shared, and follows the client’s lead to help them make sense of feelings. This approach suits concerns such as low mood, anxiety, relationship issues and the aftermath of trauma where people need time to find their own words and perspectives.

Working this way online means the counsellor aims to be present and responsive through conversation. They will check in about how the approach is working and adapt things together. Deciding which methods fit best is a shared task based on needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed plan.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend around work or family commitments. Others prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that suits their day. The counsellor will discuss practical arrangements and tailor the session length and structure in collaboration with the client.
