Professional experience
Sandy's approach is emotionally focused and very grounded, as she has had over 30 years experience in counselling. She has a natural ability to make people feel at ease and provides a safe and trusting environment. This is essential in order for people to feel comfortable enough to open up to explore their deeper concerns and beliefs.
With 25 years working as a psychologist for State and Federal Agencies and 15 years in private practice, Sandy's background as a counsellor has included extensive and ongoing training in US, Italy and Canada.
When you change the way you look at things,
the things you look at change.Wayne Dyer
"My approach is mainly emotionally focused, but I like to also follow approaches that complement the individual's current needs using the therapeutic relationship to nurture and explore the client's inner wisdom and creativity."
One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.Thomas Fuller
Working this way within the therapeutic relationship greatly empowers the person to achieve greater objectivity in relation to the situation.
People who come for counselling or therapy greatly benefit from the sessions and find they are more able to understand themselves, take control of their lives and become capable of:
- gaining greater clarity in relation to their situation
- learning techniques in managing thoughts and emotions
- developing better skills and greater awareness in approaching issues and therefore making more informed choices as to their needs.
