Sandra 'Sandy' Vado, NCPS

Sandra 'Sandy' Vado supports people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She helps with intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem issues, career worries and ADHD. Sandra also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment, and a range of interpersonal problems. She offers help for people navigating divorce, blended family dynamics, communication and commitment problems, and those coping after disasters or dissociation.

Sandra keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can say what they really feel. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can make life steadier. The goal is to build better everyday coping and clearer relationships.

Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships shape current bonds, and on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person and their experiences at the heart of sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past hurt affects daily life and relationships. These methods are used to help people process feelings and try new ways of relating.

Sandra has nine years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English, Spanish, French and Haitian Creole. Sandra accepts international clients and aims to tailor each plan to a person’s circumstances and goals.

To begin, she asks people to say what they want to change. From there she and the client agree on next steps, pacing and practical tasks between meetings.

How Sandra's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current bonds and trust. Online work with this approach focuses on noticing patterns in relationships and trying new ways of connecting in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre and uses listening and reflection to help people understand themselves and find their own solutions. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and process painful events so those memories cause less disruption in routine and relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Sandra treats it as a collaboration - she listens to what matters most, discusses options, and agrees a plan with each person. The method can change over time as goals shift or as practical needs emerge.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist's practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. They can also support people who prefer meeting from a location that fits their schedule. Sandra will discuss practical arrangements and adapt the session pace and tasks to suit each person's routine.
