About me
Welcome to Daybreak Counselling Services. My name is Sandra, thank you for looking at my profile. I am an integrative counsellor working creatively with couples and individuals. I work with couples and individuals exploring, anxiety, loss, trauma, betrayal, addiction, and so much more. You might be suffering from anxiety and low self-confidence, constantly worrying, on edge, or engaging in compulsive and repetitive behaviour. No matter what the trigger point for your difficulties we can work together to improve your communication, rebuild trust, increase quality time, or get your physical intimacy back on track.
The counselling relationship is unique, which many people find beneficial. You can feel enabled to talk freely and confidentially, remaining safe in the knowledge that you are at the heart of the working relationship.
When you first contact me we will have a brief conversation to ensure I can provide the right service for you. I will explain therapy briefly, take some contact information and arrange a first appointment. I offer weekly appointments usually at the same time each week.
I am an accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) I work by following their Code of Ethics, with the well-being of my clients being priority. My approach to therapy is based around compassion, connection, confidentiality and respect. Feel free to get in contact if you have any questions.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
