Sandra Bøjen-Taylor - MA, EMDR, AI-EMDR, MBACP (Accred)

I have been working as a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist for almost 20 years since my initial training at the Grimsby Youth Service. My approach is underpinned by the belief that clients do not all fit into one particular way of working, that we are all unique. I therefore tailor the work to suit each persons needs and their situation. In our first meetings we spend time assessing those needs and deciding the best way forward. I aim to provide a safe space where we can explore whatever the client needs to address within a confidential relationship.

I was initially trained in Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural and Psychodynamic theories and then completed a Masters Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy in 2011. I am now also an EMDR Therapist working towards accreditation with EMDR UK and Ireland (https://emdrassociation.org.uk) and have just completed training in Attachment Informed EMDR. This is an approach recommended by NICE and is particularly suited to working with current or historic trauma as well as being helpful for those with issues arising from disrupted attachment during childhood, perhaps through separation, bereavement, hospitalisation, neglect or abuse.

I have experience of working online, both as a client myself and as a therapist - using the Zoom platform.

I practice from my home in the village of Keelby: within easy reach of Grimsby, Louth, Hull, Beverley, Scunthorpe...

I am insured, on the BACP Register, Accredited with the BACP which means I have to attain high professional standards, and hold a current Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate (May 2019)

There are many reasons why people come for counselling. Some people come because they are experiencing feelings of depression and / or generalised anxiety, or because they have been bereaved or traumatised. Sometime people's suffering is harder to identify : they may experience unexplained bodily symptoms, nightmares, panic attacks, unwanted thoughts or intrusive images. Occasionally past memories and experiences can remain unresolved and might cause difficulties in current relationships: there might be difficulties at work or within the family; or concerns related to feelings of hurt or rejection and lack of confidence.
