About me
Hello and welcome - I’m Sandra, an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, also trained in Counselling for Depression (CFD).
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I’ll meet you just as you are - without judgment. Together, we can explore what’s been weighing on you or keeping you stuck. I’m genuinely interested in your story - how past experiences may be shaping how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through life.
I work with people who feel anxious, depressed, traumatised, or stuck in all kinds of difficult relationship patterns. My aim is to help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface so you can feel more confident, clear, and connected to yourself.
With years of experience supporting families, I bring a deep understanding of family dynamics and the lasting impact of early relationships. I draw on this insight to help you break free from unhelpful patterns and build more fulfilling connections.
As a CFD-trained counsellor, I offer a structured and compassionate space to support you through depression, always working at your pace, with care and sensitivity.
I’ve supported people from many different backgrounds within the NHS, helping them navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Having lived in several countries myself, I also understand the complexities of cultural identity and the experience of feeling between worlds.
Above all, I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen and understood. I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your inner strength and move toward a more grounded, meaningful life.

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.
