About Sandra
Sandra Xavier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on work and wellbeing concerns such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family strain, grief, and self-esteem. She holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience. Sandra speaks English and Hindi and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are conversational and patient. Sandra listens for patterns in relationships, loyalties, and past events that may still affect day-to-day life.
Sandra uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful and non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape interactions, and psychodynamic ideas to consider how earlier experiences influence present responses. These approaches help with attachment concerns, abandonment worries, and communication problems.
Practical concerns like workplace stress, caregiver strain, body image and social anxiety are addressed in straightforward ways. Sandra works on problem-solving, building self-compassion, and clearer communication. She supports people through divorce and separation, grief, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and sexuality.
If someone is unsure how to start, Sandra encourages a simple first step. She asks people to complete a short questionnaire via the Start Therapy button and schedule a session according to availability.
How these approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor follows. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through stress, self-esteem or relationship worries and wants their own priorities honoured.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape interactions and attachment. It is useful for people who notice repeating patterns in relationships or who feel stuck around abandonment and closeness. Psychodynamic ideas consider how past experiences influence current reactions and can help make sense of long-standing difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods to fit each person’s needs and goals. Together they will check in about what is working and adapt the focus over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fitting sessions around work or caregiving, and reducing travel time.
