Why I do this
I believe therapy should feel like a safe, collaborative space where you set the pace. My focus is on practical change—reducing distress, building self-care, and strengthening relationships—while respecting your story and identity.
As a neurodiverse therapist, Sandra brings lived experience, empathy, and deep respect for difference—supporting clients to make sense of patterns, protect their energy, and build coping strategies that fit real life.
Private practice in Burnley serving adults, couples, groups, and fellow therapists. I support neurodivergent clients (ADHD, dyslexia, Autism), grief and loss (including rainbow counselling for baby loss), relationship repair, and workplace stress. I also work as a supervisor for therapists integrating TA with CBT/CFT/ACT and mindfulness.
Sessions are online (Zoom), in person at 81 Manchester Road (Banyan Wellness Centre), by phone, or via secure email. Reiki and mindfulness can be woven in when words feel too sharp or tired.
Ongoing development matters. Sandra keeps skills current through CPD, reflective practice, and supervision—so your care stays grounded, ethical, and up to date.
