Female Counsellors in Leixlip
I offer in-person appointments in Naas for adults & adolescents (teens 13-18).
There are times in life when the pain feels too much to carry alone. You might be living with the effects of trauma or abuse, feeling disconnected or under threat in your relationships, struggling with anxiety, depression or grief. Perhaps you’re exhausted, burnt out or overwhelmed. You may be facing big existential questions like: Who am I? Why my life so painful? You might even just feel something is off without knowing what. Whatever the colour of your pain, it can shape how you experience yourself and the world right now.

You may be capable and self-aware, yet still feel overwhelmed, detached or stuck. Relationships may feel intense or confusing. Perhaps you have been told you are too sensitive, too much, or overthinking. You might wonder why you react so strongly, struggle with rejection, or feel successful on paper but internally dysregulated. I work with adults navigating neurodivergence, including ADHD and autistic identity, Rejection Sensitivity, shame, personality patterns, attachment wounds, trauma and identity shifts. Together, we make sense of what is happening in your nervous system and create something more workable.

Sandra strives to create a therapeutic environment grounded in empathy while clients embark on their journey of self-exploration and personal growth. Her approach to psychotherapy is rooted in the integration of person-centred and psychoanalytic approaches. She is mindful that each client is unique and tailors her therapeutic approach accordingly by incorporating, for example, CBT, Schema therapy and somatic techniques. So often with symptoms of anxiety and depression, vagus nerve dysregulation is an unseen enemy and Sandra uses the principles of polyvagal theory to help clients become more grounded and centred in the body.
