Psychotherapy and Wellbeing Services
Welcome
My name is Sandra Jay Russell and I have worked as a Psychotherapist for over 30 years. I live in Dorset and my clients from all over the UK.
Information for any new potential clients: I recently have reduced my client hours to a Tuesdays. My practice now provides all consultations remotely.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of providing a wide range of therapy, personal development and training services to individuals, couple, teams and groups. However, I recently have focussed my practice on solely providing services for individual clients (not couples or groups).
My background: My work over the years has been diverse. I have had many rich experiences of working privately as well as within the N.H.S. as a Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and Trainer.
I have worked throughout the UK and am privileged to have developed and delivered a training package for staff in West Africa who work with neglected and trafficked children.
My philosophy: I have always felt blessed to do the work I do. Meeting fellow human beings who allow me into their private worlds has always felt humbling. Working collaboratively with all my clients is at the heart of my philosophy. I believe we all have the capacity to find our own answers but sometimes our history, circumstance or capacity prevent us from knowing how to access or do this.
My relationship to my clients is a partnership: where we unravel the ball of string together to make sense of things and to discover what may be needed to move forward
The essence of my philosophy was beautifully reflected in a review session when my client said “I now understand that true healing comes from learning to sit alongside oneself”
My training: I qualified as a Psychotherapist over 30 years ago and over this time have embraced many experiences and trainings.
I hold a Post Graduate training qualification in Process Supervision and have also had training in Group Analysis, Family Therapy & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (C.B.T).
