Sandra Adams, BACP, NCPS

Sandra Adams is a counsellor with 26 years of experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing addiction, relationship strains, anxiety and depression. Sandra works with individuals who are managing grief, trauma, caregiver stress, or questions about intimacy and identity. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and supports carers as part of her practice.

Sandra uses a few core approaches and adapts them to each person. Client-Centred Therapy shapes how she listens - the person sets the pace and priorities while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps to spot unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for strengths and clear next steps to move forward.

Her background includes work with domestic abuse, psychosexual concerns and gambling addiction, and she has run groups for family and friends affected by a loved one’s gambling. Sandra also provides clinical supervision to other practitioners. These roles inform how she approaches safety, boundaries and practical recovery plans.

Sandra aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, empathy and compassion. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical ways to manage stress, relationships and life changes. She helps people identify resources they already have and build new coping routines.

Approaches online and how they help

Sandra draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping them make sense of feelings and priorities. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and supports practical experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, doable steps that move a person towards their goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the process. Sandra will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then agree which methods to try. That conversation can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions at varied times. It can also make some check-ins shorter or more flexible, for example when a quick conversation is needed between longer blocks of work. As the profile does not list specific session formats, please confirm current options before booking so arrangements fit your day-to-day routine.
