Sandra is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and registered and accredited as a Psychotherapist with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
“I have been a qualified psychotherapist and facilitator for nearly 10 years and I find profound fulfilment in witnessing the transformative journey of my clients. It’s an honour to create a safe space where individuals can explore their innermost thoughts and feelings and to guide them towards healing and self-discovery.
Integrative psychotherapy provides a truly comprehensive and holistic approach to wellness, combining various therapeutic techniques to address the unique needs of each individual.
The most rewarding aspect is seeing clients reclaim their power, find their voice, and cultivate resilience in the face of life’s challenges. I am particularly passionate about working with grief and trauma. It’s crucial to recognise that trauma doesn’t have to be a monumental event; it can be small yet profoundly impactful for an individual.
Everyone’s feelings are valid and important. Similarly, grief can manifest in various life transitions beyond the conventional understanding – divorce, menopause, children leaving home, ageing, losing friends or moving away. These experiences all involve loss and adjustment and deserve attention and care.
This versatile modality draws from psychodynamic, person-centred, Jungian, cognitive-behavioural, Gestalt, existential, and transpersonal approaches. By tailoring the therapeutic experience to each client, integrative psychotherapy offers a range of health benefits, including:
- Improved emotional regulation and stress management
- Enhanced self-awareness and personal growth
- Better coping mechanisms for anxiety and depression
- Stronger interpersonal relationships and Communication skills
- Increased self-esteem and confidence
- Resolution of past traumas and unresolved conflicts
- Greater sense of meaning and purpose in life
- Improved overall mental health and wellbeing
- Enhanced problem-solving and decision-making abilities
- Better management of addiction and compulsive behaviours
- Increased resilience in facing life’s challenges
This holistic approach addresses not only symptoms but also the underlying causes of psychological distress, promoting long-lasting positive change and empowering individuals to lead more fulfilling lives.
Every session is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life, and that’s what makes this work so deeply gratifying.
