Adult Individual Counselling

I offer confidential talking therapy to support individuals to explore, understand, and manage issues found to be personally challenging.

EMDR Psychotherapy

A structured, evidence-based therapy that helps process distressing memories and trauma, reducing their emotional impact and supporting psychological healing.

Mediation

When individuals are experiencing stressful situations, what tends to happen is they are more likely to react when faced with conflict. We facilitate conversations where we can help people to learn more responsive and less reactive ways of managing difficult conversations, thus reducing stress levels in these difficult moments whilst maintaining their ‘best self’ in challenging situations.

Psychological Debrief

REFLECT (Review the event, Encourage team participation, Focused feedback, Listen to each other, Emphasise key points, Communicate clearly, Transform the future) in line with the Debriefing training. The aim is to help the emotional processing of traumatic events to begin and through the examination of thoughts and feelings acceptance of current events and resilience to future traumatic experience is possible.

Clinical Supervision

Supervision is a process whereby one individual, the supervisor, supports another individual or a group of up to four people who are the supervisee/s, to manage, develop and expand their understanding, resilience and competency in the work they do. Supervision is an on-going form of support that is arranged regularly. I can offer clinical supervision whose job have a strong component of emotional and psychological support for patients or others and their families,.

TESTIMONIALS

Our Happy Clients

I have had many different therapists over the years, but none of them compare with Sandra. One session with Sandra is like 6 sessions with them. Her level of empathy and ability to get straight down to the nitty gritty is what sets her apart from any other therapist. Not to mention she has a great sense of humour which provides some relief in the sessions. My whole life I have felt trapped by my own self-criticism and lack of confidence, I feel so fortunate to have found Sandra, she taught me how to be kind to myself and let go of my past trauma. Her EMDR treatment was exceptionally good. I am truly grateful for everything she has done for me, she will always have a place in my heart.

If anyone is looking for a counsellor I would have no hesitation in recommending Sandra. She helped me to sort out many aspects of my life. From my first session with her I felt comfortable talking to her. She was a good listener & her feedback to me was exactly what I said to her but in a manner where my problems & doubts became clear. She sometimes went deep with her questions & I would become emotional but before she finished each session, she would always make sure that I’m in a good place. I always felt safe & relaxed to express my feelings without being judged. I met with Sandra once a week for 8 weeks & in this short time she helped me to realise & face up to my difficulties. Counselling has left me in a positive & confidant mind set. I have made changes to my work situation as well as with friends & family. I am so much happier & content with where I am in every aspect of my life. I am very grateful to Sandra for her help & understanding. Almost 2 years on I still feel positive & confident about my future. I am going from strength to strength. However, I know that if I ever need her again I can turn to her at any time.

I started with Sandra beginning of 2021 honestly not knowing what to expect from therapy. It was my first time seeing a black therapist and I was ready to unpack alot with her but was also very nervous. Sandra made me feel safe and heard from the very beginning, and continues to do so. She tailors her sessions to your exact needs and I feel like I’ve become more in tune with myself and who I am since I started. I can honestly see a major change in myself and others can see it too

T.W

Counselling sessions with Sandra dramatically improved our relationship. Her expertise improved communication between us and helped us rebuild trust and intimacy with each other. We now share a deeper level of intimacy and understanding thanks to Sandra. She tailored sessions in a way which suited us and asked us for feedback regularly to ensure we were happy with the process. Sandra equipped us with the tools we needed to succeed helped to hold us accountable, was impartial and helped us be more to be more considerate and empathetic. We are very grateful and highly recommend her services
