About
Hi - I'm Sandy a Psychologist and Clinical Family Therapist who works with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I am committed to providing an empathic, non judgement space, that fosters growth and healing. I use strength based approaches and work collaboratively to facilitate a space to support clients to meet their goals.
​​​
My primary therapeutic approach is Systemic Interventions, which aim to understand an individual's relationships, interactions, context and the meaning that they create from life events. This approach helps clients to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their behavioural and thinking patterns, enabling them to make more authentic choices in the way they live their life. I integrate cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Therapies and Gottman's Methods into therapy depending on the unique needs of the clients.
​​
I also draw on attachment theory, recognising the importance of a strong, trusting therapeutic alliance between therapist and client as a foundation for meaningful change and healing. I offers therapeutic services to adolescents, adults, couples and families addressing a number of concerns including;
​​
-
Life stage adjustments
