I am an integrative counsellor, with over 30 years experience as a lawyer, business leader and coach. I’ve coached leaders for 20 years as a consultant and in my private coaching practice and now work therapeutically with individuals and groups.

I’ve come to realise, after many years of working in high pressurised environments, balancing family and work commitments, that I’ve always been trying to “get somewhere”. Just being in the moment and finding space for myself has been one of the biggest challenges.

Therapy was a place where this was an offer. The only demand was to be with myself, to find out what I was really thinking and feeling, and I found great peace in that once I had learned to quieten my mind enough to allow it. In time, I discovered that the space facilitated me to make better decisions, build more nourishing relationships, and start to create a life that worked for me as well as everyone else. I no longer had to get somewhere, I just had to be where I was, and the healing and transformation would come.

I hope to offer the same to my clients.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on many different approaches which means that each relationship is very unique (as are all of our relationships).  I place great importance on building a therapeutic relationship where you feel that you can explore whatever is most important to you, at the pace and in the way you wish.  You are at the centre of all our work, and I believe that the answers to whatever questions you’re asking come from within you, at a mind, body and spirit level.  My job is to accompany you back to yourself. Along the way, we will examine what your life experience has been so far; how it has shaped you; how you have learned to build relationships and what beliefs and assumptions you carry into your connections with others so that you have a deeper awareness of yourself and your life.

You may not be sure whether therapy is for you, or be clear about what exactly you “do” in therapy, or who you would like to work with. I understand that it can be quite nerve-wracking to take the first step and am available to answer any questions you have to figure out what is best for you.

I see clients at my private practice at Homa Psychotherapy Practice Counselling and psychotherapy in Islington - Change is possible (homatherapypractice.london). If you would like support, please call or email me to arrange an initial appointment and we will explore how we might work together.  You can also have a look at my website: Home | Sandra Hilton

Groupwork

From January - November 2024, I will be holding space in London on Saturday mornings for a small group of women to gather. This might be for you if you answer yes to any of the following:

• Are you exhausted by a life spent Doing, want to step off the hamster wheel but don't know how?
• Would you like to just BE in your life, but find that experience rather elusive?
• Do you find yourself pulled in the direction of what you “should” do, and find it difficult to know what it is you truly wish for?
• Are you hungry for more depth, delight and connection in your life?
• Are you curious to discover what it would be like to live from the inside out?

If you are a woman or identify as a woman and would like to spend dedicated time on yourself, talking, journalling, making art, meditating, moving and building practices to sustain you, then I warmly welcome you to a conversation to explore together if this group is for you. More info here:
