About me
Hi, I’m Sandra. I’m a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and I work with adults of all ages and young people. I am a person-centred therapist and offer a holistic approach as I believe that we are all unique and individual and one size does not fit all.
I provide a quiet, safe space away from the hussle and bussle of everyday life. A place where you can be yourself as only you really know what you need to feel self-acceptance.
I will work with you at emotional depth in a non-judgemental, empathic and confidential space to help you understand your experiences, past or present at a pace that you feel comfortable with, allowing you to grow from your struggles, heal from your pain and move forward to where you want to be in life.
I also understand the importance of confidentiality so that you can feel comfortable talking freely about your most private experiences or worries. The therapeutic relationship is based on trust, honesty and transparency, allowing you to feel heard and accepted.
I offer an introductory call, this is free of charge and is for you to see if the way I work will suit you at this time and for me to identify how I can help you. You can also ask any questions that you may have about the counselling process to assist you in your decision about counselling sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am qualified with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an FdSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am trained in humanistic person-centred counselling. I have worked in schools, a doctor's surgery, for an agency with older adults and now work privately. I work with young people and adults of all ages.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and follow their code of ethics. I am DBS checked and fully insured.
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.
