Sandra Adams

I am a highly experienced accredited counsellor and clinical supervisor. Sometimes life is painful and it's hard to cope at those times you may need help. This will be a safe, trusting, non-judgemental, empathic, supportive environment. Together we will create space for you to explore and begin to heal.

I offer Counselling to clients and Supervision to other Counsellors. Counselling is not advice giving; you are in control and will make the choices. Together we will create a working relationship. It may have taken great courage for you to seek a counsellor; by looking here you have already taken the first step toward opening up a world of possibility and opportunity. This is your journey and together we will work towards your goals.

I am an integrative therapist which allows me to be flexible, I have wide range of skills I am able to adapt to the needs of each client. My work is a privilege, over the years it has been my great pleasure to come into contact with so many wonderful people who really want to engage with life fully, and find they have blocks and out of date coping strategies which they were unaware of. In therapy as an outsider it can be easier to identify those. Lets say see the wood amongst the trees.

I have worked for many years in private practice as a therapist and supervisor, also within the NHS as a counsellor in GP surgeries and I previously counselled staff within the NHS as part of the Employee Wellbeing Team. I now supervise for both services. I work with individuals and couples with a wide and varied range of presenting difficulties.

I am a highly experienced supervisor, I offer both Group and Individual supervision. I supervise through my private practice, I currently supervise for the Primary Care Counselling Service and Employee Wellbeing Service in NHS. I have and am presently working as an external supervisor for New Pathways/ Cruse Bereavement Care Cardiff/ YCS Counselling/ Jacob Abraham Foundation/ Llamau/ Womens Aid. I supervise long term and short term work. Being an integrative therapist means I can use many varied skills which can be accessible to those who counsel from pure models.
