Hello and welcome to ‘The Big Blue Chair’. I’m Sandra and I’m a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
My approach to counselling is rooted in empathy, compassion and non-judgement. I strive to create a warm, safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and feelings, get to know yourself better and understand the motivators behind your thoughts and behaviours.
I will work with you to encourage positive change and improved well-being, whilst developing the skills and tools you need to navigate life’s challenges with increased resilience and self-value.
Take the first step to help. Call or Sandra McElwee now - 01633 987146

I work with a wide range of issues. Additionally, I am a firm believer that men also experience abuse and that as a society, we tend to overlook this. I have a particular interest in working with male clients who have experienced and/or are experiencing abuse within the home environment or their relationships, and/or male survivors of abuse.

As a person-centred counsellor, my role is non-directive, instead allowing you to take the lead. I will not attempt to fix your issues, or delve into areas where you do not feel ready to go. Instead I will help you explore your current challenges in greater detail, gaining a deeper understanding of the connections between your feelings and behaviours, ultimately enabling a greater self-awareness.
