About Sandra Taylor
I am passionate about working with couples to improve and repair their relationships, whether their issues are in their early stages or feel insurmountable. I work collaboratively with couples, helping them to a deeper understanding and appreciation of themselves, each other, and their relationship.
I am an experienced couples therapist who was certified by ICEEFT as an emotionally focused therapist in 2012, as a supervisor of EFT therapists in 2015 and as a Trainer in 2018. Before working with couples I was a Person Centred Counsellor working with individuals, having qualified as a counsellor in 1992. I am also an experienced and qualified supervisor and trainer of counsellors.
From my first experience of emotionally focused therapy I was hooked. It is an approach that gives us a clear and logical process to work through together. I support both of you to reach into your emotions and distress to rebuild love and connection.
