Be Seen. Be Heard. Be You.
Hi, I’m Sandra. I hope you find the following information “About Me” to be helpful
I describe myself as warm, supportive, and compassionate. I provide a safe and confidential space where clients have regularly shared that they feel comfortable and at ease. Building trust is at the heart of the therapeutic relationship, and I work gently and respectfully to support you in that process.
Before training to become a therapist, I worked in Human Resources for many years with the John Lewis Partnership; a role I loved. I found that many of the skills I developed there were deeply transferable to therapy, especially those around listening, empathising and supporting others.
I went onto retrain as a therapist, completing four years of training, which I absolutely loved. It was a transformative journey where I not only gained professional knowledge, but also grew personally and deepened my understanding of others.
I have now worked as an Accredited Psychotherapist for 9 years.
“My own transformative experience of therapy inspired me to become a counsellor, to offer others the same empathy, understanding and healing that I was fortunate to receive from my Therapist.” - Sandra
My personal experience
I know from personal experience how overwhelming life can feel. While juggling a full-time job, raising my children, and going through a difficult divorce, I often felt stretched beyond my limits. During that time, I worked with a therapist who helped me understand myself on a much deeper level - and it truly changed my life. I haven't looked back since.
That experience continues to inspire my work today. I want you to have your own unique experience of therapy - one that feels supportive, meaningful, and grounded in trust. There is so much to gain.
My integrated approach.
I work with adults aged 18 and over, tailoring therapy to your individual needs.
I specialise in Anxiety and Depression, which may be linked to challenging life experiences including Grief, Loss and Trauma.
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly, feel seen and heard and begin to find a way forward.
Recent training
I’ve completed Level 1 training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a gentle and compassionate approach that explores the relationship between our core Self and the different “parts” of us that show up in life.
I feel this sits very well with other approaches I provide in my Practice.
