About Sandra
Sandra 'Sandy' Vado helps people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a range of life changes. She supports concerns linked to intimacy, parenting, self‑esteem, career pressures and ADHD. She also offers help around family strain, adoption and foster care questions, and issues such as attachment or codependency. Sandy speaks English, Spanish, French and Haitian Creole and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Sandy uses a warm, client‑centred style that aims to make talking feel straightforward. She focuses on listening and reflecting so people can say what matters to them. Sessions are a place to talk through painful memories, confusing emotions, or practical problems and to find clearer next steps.
Her approach draws on Attachment‑Based and Trauma‑Focused ideas alongside Client‑Centered Therapy. That means she pays attention to relationships and safety in close connections, while also addressing how past trauma affects day‑to‑day life. Conversations often include looking at patterns, building emotion regulation and practising clearer communication.
Sandy has nine years of professional experience and holds NCPS. She invites people to take small steps at their own pace and supports practical changes as well as emotional understanding. Her way of working is collaborative, focusing on what each person needs right now.
To begin, a short questionnaire helps match clients and schedule sessions. Sandy describes the first meetings as an opportunity to set goals and agree on the pace of work together.
How Sandy uses client‑centred and trauma approaches online
Sandra blends Client‑Centered Therapy with Attachment‑Based and Trauma‑Focused ideas to guide online work. Client‑Centered Therapy prioritises listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can explore what matters. Attachment‑Based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions and needs. Trauma‑Focused therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events and reduce their everyday impact.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sandy treats that as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to decide what to focus on. Together they set the pace and try methods that suit the person's situation.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It can also let someone continue therapy while living abroad or juggling work and family commitments. Sandy aims to shape sessions so they fit practical rhythms and therapeutic goals.
