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?”

My Name is Sandra Stein

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

I was born in Brazil and have been living in London since 2006.

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 trhiving

  • Existential Enquiry

I 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

  • Relationship struggles

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Neurodiversity and its challenges

  • Addiction and recovery

  • Relationship challenges

  • Internal pressure and burnout

My background includes working with organisations such as The Priory, where I supported clients through complex and deeply personal experiences.

A Different Kind of Therapy

This is not surface-level therapy.

I don’t just listen — I help you:

  • Understand patterns at their root and help you with tools to change them

  • Explore your emotional world safely

  • Make sense of your experiences

  • Build a more grounded and compassionate relationship with yourself

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