Sandy Munday

I offer non-directive therapy aiming to help you to understand yourself better and see yourself from a fresh perspective. This can give you space to think differently and make new choices in life. We will explore your thoughts and feelings as they come to mind during a session, and come to notice how some of your early experiences and relationships affect your adult life in conscious and unconscious ways. 

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, providing long-term and short-term work for individual adult clients. The length of our work depends on what you would like to gain from your therapy, which we can discuss. Twice-weekly sessions are possible if these feel appropriate for you.

My work has included: loss, anxiety including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), relationship issues, sadness, trauma, bereavement, low self-confidence, social anxiety, low mood, emotional and physical abuse, depression, stress, life crises, loneliness, feeling stuck, attachment disorder, bullying, feeling trapped, low self-esteem, low self-compassion, indecision, issues relating to childhood and growing up, family issues, issues relating to faith (such as change, related relationship issues and loss of faith), spirituality, and career and work-related issues such as change of direction, work-related stress, redundancy and retirement.

My experience includes working in private practice, a psychotherapy training organisation, a counselling agency, a GP surgery, clergy and church staff counselling services and a further education college.

I am registered with UKCP and BACP, fully insured and have enhanced DBS clearance. 

Qualifications I gained before my counselling training include a bachelor's degree in theology, a graduate diploma in ministry and a certificate in spiritual direction. 

I offer regular weekly 50 minute sessions on the same day at the same time, working face-to-face or online depending on your situation. The entrance to my practice room and adjacent toilet is flat from pavement level. Free onstreet parking is available outside. 

We can have a brief free telephone conversation to see if it feels right for us to explore this further. 

If so, we can arrange an initial session. The fee is £60. You do not need to prepare for this session in any way, just come as you are. 

I will make some notes during this session to help me develop a sense of what has been going on for you. I will give you my Client Agreement for you to take away and read. This is a simple document for us to complete with basic information about my practice and about you, which we will both sign; I will give you a copy so you can keep it to refer to if you wish.
