I did not believe in therapy. Before my experience with Sandra,
I had one therapy session in my whole life. The experience was not
a positive one, so I became resistant to talking about emotions.
Sandra changed this for me. She has a friendly, witty and disarming
approach. I felt comfortable to talk about things that I felt ashamed of

About Me

You may have found your way here because something doesn’t feel right.

On the outside, you might be coping…
But inside, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed disconnected, or not enough.

You may find yourself overthinking, questioning your worth, or struggling in ways that are hard to explain.

And part of you may be wondering:


“Why do I feel like this?”

I am Sandra Stein

I am a Trauma Counsellor Therapist. Multicultural oriented and Neurodiverse informed.

My experience includes working within an addiction recovery hospital, supporting individuals through complex emotional and addictive behaviours, as well as working within organisations such as The Priory in London-Uk.

I further developed my specialisation in trauma through training with Oxford University, where I gained a multidisciplinary understanding of how individuals can feel stuck in deeply rooted emotional and behavioural patterns.

My Approach

I offer a space where you can bring the parts of yourself that feel confusing, heavy, or difficult — without fear of judgment.

My approach is:

  • Trauma-informed (how you became who you are)

  • Relational (interactive dialogue)

  • Compassionate and grounded

  • Focused on depth, not just coping but thriving

  • Exploring the bigger questions about who you are and how you want to liveI don’t believe your struggles are random.
    There is always a reason behind what you feel.

Together, we explore that — safely and at your pace.

My Experience

  • Trauma and emotional difficulties

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Neurodiversity and its challenges

  • Addiction and recovery

  • Relationship challenges

  • Internal pressure and burnout

A Different Kind of Therapy

What it feels like to work with me

 Many people have sat with therapists who listened — but left feeling unheard. If that's been your experience, this may feel different.

In our sessions you will feel:

  •  A real dialogue — not a monologue into silence. I am present, responsive, and genuinely engaged with what you bring.

  • Genuine curiosity about what lies beneath — the parts you can't quite name or explain yet.

  • More than heard — gently challenged, guided, and given real tools to practise change in your life, not just in the room.

  • A quality of connection that is attuned, unhurried, and entirely focused on you. Not on a method. Not on a checklist. On you.

This is what my clients tell me they didn't know therapy could feel like — until it did.

If You’re Here

If something in you resonates with this space…
you don’t need to have everything figured out.

You just need to take the first step.

Sandra helped me to feel love for myself and to understand that the pain I was inflicting on myself was to distract me from deeper painful emotions.

When we first meet Sandra we were on a brink of separation. She helped us to communicate without judgment and acknowledgement of each others emotions.
