I am Sandra Stein, an MBACP registered, Humanistic Gestalt Integrative Counsellor Therapist for individuals and couples, Therapy Group Facilitator and Author. 

I have been for some time trusted to walk with my clients through their depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction and other emotional and mental struggles.

I am committed to delivering a unique approach, that to me comes naturally, which relaxed, friendly and connected chat.

That is why the first sensations you will have in my sessions are freedom, encouragement, acceptance, empowerment and safety to be vulnerable in a more intimate way.

  • Before you go ahead on my page, I want to offer a 20-minute free-of-charge chat so we can check if we connect. I believe that the best therapeutic results happen when the client and therapist feel comfortable with one another.

  • I am approved and featured in Counselling Directory, BACP Therapist Directory, Psychology Today and Gestalt Centre.

My approach is multicultural-informed, which means I am interested in every part of you. Every aspect of your history translates into your self-expression today and how you experience the world and emotions.

I am curious about many aspects such as:

Where do you come from? What beliefs have you internalized?

  • How was your experience at school growing up? Did you feel included?

  • Depression (Loneliness, social isolation, feeling empty, hopeless and sad, suicide ideation)

  • Anxiety ( Phobias, self-harming, social anxiety, a sense of not feeling present)

  • Trauma and addiction

  • Eating disorder (Body dysmorphia, compulsion for exercising, self-critical, social media image demand)

  • Self and cultural identity struggle (immigrants, the second generation of immigrants)

  • Relationship issues ( Family, partners, work)

  • Loss ( Job, divorce, lifestyle, death)

  • LGBQT+
