About Sandra

Sandra Jonah is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing addictions, relationship strain, family tension, trauma and low self-esteem. Sandra aims to create a respectful, warm space where people feel heard and understood.

She uses a person-focused style and adapts conversations to each client. Sandra listens for strengths and helps people build them into practical steps. She brings empathy and a gentle sense of humour to sessions to help ease difficult conversations.

In therapy she combines several approaches to match what you need. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy among others. Sandra works with clients to set clear, achievable goals and to try different strategies between sessions.

Her work covers issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, co-morbidity, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, isolation and workplace stress. She also supports people working on forgiveness and learning self-love.

Sandra asks clients to be part of planning the work. She focuses on practical tools you can use day to day, and on noticing small changes that add up. If you are ready to begin, she encourages you to take the next step and start the matching process.

How Sandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you clarify what matters most and take small committed actions toward those values. It is useful for motivation, managing difficult thoughts and working through feelings like guilt or shame.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand trust, abandonment fears and how they relate in close relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and accepted. That approach supports self-esteem and helps create a steady space to work through painful experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will talk with you about your goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as you progress.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching step so sessions suit your schedule and daily commitments.
