About Sandra
Counsellor Sandra Silva Juhasz is BACP registered and has five years' experience offering counselling in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT issues, grief and intimacy-related problems. Sandra also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem and life changes.
Sandra draws on several therapy approaches to help people talk through difficult feelings and patterns. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections. She works with client-centred ways of listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going.
Her practice often focuses on relationship and trauma-related issues. This includes how family of origin, separation, blended family dynamics, and commitment or communication problems affect daily life. She also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality tendencies, and the impact of domestic violence and divorce.
Sandra helps people with body image and self-esteem concerns and with the practical strain of caregiving, chronic illness or pain. She also supports those managing codependency, control issues and problems around intimacy and commitment.
Sessions can be conducted in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Sandra uses elements of emotionally-focused and mindfulness approaches when useful, and draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns.

Approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence present relationships. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, trust and avoidance in friendships and partnerships. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what someone says. It helps people feel heard and to find their own way of making changes.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines by trying out different ways of thinking and acting. Sandra combines these approaches to address relationship and trauma-related concerns and to work with practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a way forward together. That collaborative discussion can include trying one method for a few sessions and then adjusting based on progress and what feels most useful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals offer several ways to meet, and the practical choice should fit your schedule and comfort.
