Sandra McGrath

Training & Accreditation

Sandra has a BA in Social Studies and an MSc in Psychotherapy from Dublin City University (DCU). She is fully accredited with IACP.

Approach

Sandra believes in fairness and equality and in the strength of human spirit. She believes in the ability of us all to rise from the most challenging of life experiences with the right supports. Therapy can help us to recognise, acknowledge and overcome the barriers we face so we can get the most out of life, despite adversity. Therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist and is different for everyone. Sometimes we are working towards change. Sometimes we are learning to live with situations we cannot change. Mostly, we create a therapeutic relationship that is non-judgmental, accepting and compassionate, allowing for the exploration of difficulties and healing from pain.

Sandra provides both short and long term therapy.
