Sandra Gladh Email & Phone Number

I offer therapy sessions for children,adolescents and adults. I provide a safe, confidential, regular time and space in which I will support the client to share, explore, understand and bring about change. My therapeutic approach is integrative and informed by a range of therapeutic theories including psychodynamic, person-centred, attachment theory and cognitive behavioural therapy. In addition I am a accredited EMDR therapist. EMDR is a proven treatment for trauma, but further research now shows that it can also be effectively used in treatment of attachment difficulties, anxiety, eating disorders and OCD. I believe in working relationally, which is a process that involves both the therapist and client working together with the intention to develop a secure and strong therapeutic relationship that provides the foundation from which personal growth and change can begin to occur. I adopt a holistic approach taking account all aspects of your life and I will tailor the sessions to fit you and your unique experiences. The pace and nature of the work will be guided by you.I offer both short and long term therapy.

Supervisor:As an EMDR Europe Accredited Clinical Supervisor/Consultant, I offer individual and group supervision for EMDR cases.
