Her interest lies in providing a safe, respectful and creative environment
to enable people to gain more understanding and awareness of the nature,
underlying causes, and function of their present difficulties. She believes
that insight and awareness allow other healthier options to emerge and,
in the context of a healing relationship with another, that people can
resolve and heal wounds, and become more resilient and self-supporting.
Sandra’s areas of expertise include working with depression,
anxiety and panic attacks, trauma, post trauma stress disorder, grief,
insomnia, low self-esteem and confidence, and family of origin issues.
In addition to her psychotherapeutic approach, she offers hypnotherapy
in relation to problems with anxiety, insomnia, self- esteem and family
of origin issues. She can use Eye Movement Desensitization and Retraining
(EMDR) to help people traumatized by critical incidents such as accidents
or experiences of violence.
Sandra has studied gestalt therapy, marital and family therapy, and
hypnosis. She has had extensive work experience in a variety of settings
including metropolitan and country hospitals, Employee Assistance Programmes,
and community agencies including Relationships Australia.

and commitment phobia,
