Sandra Ballester

Welcome. I offer clinical supervision based on integrative, psychodynamic and transpersonal approaches. This means that any theoretical orientation is welcome, and my aim is to make supervision a collaborative and enjoyable experience. My supervision style is collegial and straightforward.

I am a UKCP accredited supervisor and psychotherapist, and have been in private practice as a counsellor and stress management therapist since 2002.

Supervision is available online and in person.

Welcome. I am a counsellor, stress management therapist and psychotherapist. In practice this means that I work with clients in an integrative way, using all of my skills as far as they are helpful to you.

When we're stuck in difficulties it can be helpful to think about factors which may be outside of our normal awareness which may be affecting your thoughts and feelings about certain people or things. Past or family experiences may have an impact, and so might cultural and social environments. Your individual sense of meaning, purpose and values are also important to our work. Central to everything is the therapeutic relationship that we build together.

I will listen to you very carefully, to really understand your concerns. Your life experience is unique, and I will not make assumptions about you or about what I think you are going through. It is essential that you feel fully understood and empathised with. In your story I also seek to hear what it is not being said explicitly, to bring out that which you may be experiencing but are so far unable to put into words.

The most difficult times of our lives can sometimes become the most fruitful, if we can integrate our experiences, thoughts and feelings in a constructive and empowering way. We may need the help of another person to accomplish this, and it is this which I hope to help you with.

I usually do medium to long term work, but can also offer short term work. I work in person and online.

I abide by the ethical and professional guidelines of the UKCP (where I am accredited as a psychotherapist) and the BACP, and have regular supervision with a senior supervisor. All our sessions are strictly confidential, and my supervisor has no access to your personal details. Your data is kept secure according to GDPR regulations.
