Taking on new clients now. Evening sessions available.
Welcome!
Hi! I'm Sandra, the founder of Linden Counselling Practice. I'm originally from Estonia, and have lived in the UK for over 10 years. I love reading, listening to music, and being in nature. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked in health and social care, specialising in complex care and SEND.
I'm a qualified integrative counsellor, working with individuals over the age of 16. I provide identity-affirming, neurodivergent-friendly counselling tailored entirely to you. We can meet in my office, online, or outdoors.
My Approach
I trained in integrative counselling, which means that I learnt different counselling modalities, offering a tailored approach to each individual client. My approach is relational and person-centered at its core, meaning that the therapeutic relationship has the potential to be the healing force in our work together, whilst taking your lead with where you want the sessions to go. I am also influenced by psychodynamic and existential thoughts, looking at how our past relationship dynamics might be influencing our current ones and what might we do once we have uncovered the past.
I also offer creative interventions, such as sand-tray sessions and working with nesting dolls, if and when appropriate. Please don't hesitate to drop me a message if you have any questions about the above.
I'm a member of the BACP, and follow their Ethical Framework.
My Qualifications
I hold a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling (Level 6) alongside a Level 3 qualification. I am also a qualified Sand Story and Walk-and-Talk therapist.
To best support your unique journey, I actively participate in regular professional development. I am currently completing training to become an LGBTQ+ Affirmative therapist, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for all clients.
