Meet Sandy
Hello, I’m Sandy

If you’re here, you may have reached a point where you’re ready for something to change. Perhaps anxiety has been getting in the way of enjoying life, you’re feeling overwhelmed, or you’ve been carrying something for a long time and would like some support.

Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to have all the answers before you begin.

I believe that therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself, without judgement. My approach is warm, friendly and compassionate, and I take the time to really listen and understand what life has been like for you.

I specialise in working with anxiety and related difficulties, but I also recognise that behind every difficulty is a unique person with their own experiences, strengths and hopes for the future.

Over the years, I have developed a broad range of therapeutic skills and continue to learn and develop my practice. I work with hypnotherapy, mindfulness-based approaches, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Ego State Therapy and Hypno-EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).

I don’t believe therapy should be about simply being told what to do. You are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, encouragement and therapeutic tools that can help you understand yourself differently and make the changes you want to make.

Every person is different, so I tailor our sessions to you. We can take things at your pace and focus on what matters most to you. Sometimes that might mean calming an anxious mind, building confidence, changing unhelpful patterns, processing difficult experiences, or learning to respond to life’s challenges with greater compassion and resilience.

I believe that even when things feel stuck, change is possible.

You may have tried to manage things on your own for a long time. You may feel unsure about therapy, or wonder whether it can really help. That’s completely understandable. You don’t need to know exactly what you need before you get in touch. We can start with a conversation and take it from there.

My aim is for you to feel heard, understood and supported, and to help you reconnect with your own strengths and ability to move forward.

There is no judgement, no pressure and no expectation that you need to have everything worked out.

Just a safe space to begin.
I look forward to meeting you.

Sandy has a warm and friendly approach and works with clients to encourage personal growth tailoring the therapy to your own individual needs.   

If you would like to have an informal chat on the phone please feel free to contact me on 07779 424018.

Face consultations are held in Binstead, Isle of Wight.
