About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I’m Lucy Sands and I send you the warmest welcome to my directory page.
Navigating life’s ups and downs can be difficult alone, often leading to feeling stuck, unable to cope, overwhelmed and confused. Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, uncontrollable emotions, intrusive thoughts and OCD can have a devastating impact on everyday life.
Professionally for many years I have offered a friendly, neuro-affirmative, down to earth counselling and psychotherapy service, grounded in the core values of openness, respectfulness and honesty.
I offer young people and adults one to one therapy, for as long as required. Whatever your unique situation or root cause of distress, I will unconditionally listen without judgement, supporting you process what is happening.
I am trained to integrate various theoretical tools and techniques, to tailor a therapeutic session that best suits you. Counselling brings increased self-awareness and together we will work towards facilitating choice and changes.
Please visit my website for more information about me and what I can offer www.sandscounselling.co.uk
I will not judge but walk beside you in your therapeutic journey.
Thank you for considering utilising my help.
My Qualifications: BSc (Hons) Psychology & PGDIP Counselling and Psychotherapy
Practice description
My practice is based in Boughton Monchelsea, near Maidstone (Kent). I offer face to face counselling, or if you prefer support in your own personal space, I also offer therapy in an online capacity via Google Meets or Whatsapp video calls. Initially we will meet each other via a free 15 minute video call, and you can then decide from there if you would like to get booked in for the first session. The number and frequency of sessions will be discussed on an individual basis.
My first session
By the end of the first session I aim to gather as much information about you and your unique situation. I will then suggest a proposed treatment plan and confirm if you would like to continue with booking another session.
