SANDRA HUM

Sandra is a highly trained registered psychologist with experience working across public, educational, addiction, and employment sectors. She enjoys supporting adults navigating various issues, and also has a particular interest in working with children, adolescents, and their families. Sandra is a member of our senior clinical team, and is improving her skills in trauma-informed modalities such as Schema Therapy.

Please note that for all clients aged 17 and younger, a parent session is required as the initial appointment. This allows Sandra to obtain developmental history of the client and to understand the presenting concerns from a parent's perspective.

Teenage clients can attend the initial session but this will be split into two halves; first half parent and Sandra and second half client/client and parent with Sandra.

Sandra is a warm and empathic therapist who likes to work closely with the ecological system of the person, which can include families and schools to help develop protective factors for her clients. She is passionate in helping people develop adaptive coping and communication strategies. 

Most of Sandra’s previous experience has been gained in the community setting, across education, addiction and employment services. This experience has created exposure to working with individuals across the age spectrum, with different mental health issues. She is strengthening her skills in trauma-informed practice, and also skilled in delivering interventions founded within Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing.
