DR CAROL SANDIFORD

Registered Psychologist

I am a Registered Psychologist (B.Psych.Sc.Hons; M.Psych, Ed & Dev / PhD) with over nine years’ experience supporting women and young people. I deeply honour and respect the trust that my clients place in me and would consider it a privilege to support you.

I understand that it can be a daunting undertaking to find a psychologist who is right for you, so my aim is to make that process as easy as possible. Please feel free to connect with me prior to making an appointment so that you can be comfortable that I am a good fit for you.

I aim to establish a caring authentic connection with each client. In this safe and supported environment, I will work with you to help you explore values, deepen self-awareness and learn skills
that will enable you to overcome challenges and ultimately allow you to live a rich and meaningful
life. I believe in a wholistic approach working across multiple areas of life including work (or school),
family, relationships, creativity, sleep and diet as I believe all areas contribute to wellbeing. I am an
ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and committed to providing a safe, nonjudgmental and accepting
therapeutic environment for all clients.

I am committed to evidence-based practice and use a variety of therapies based on your own
individual needs and preferences. My therapeutic approach includes Acceptance Commitment
Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and Emotion Focussed
Therapy.

​

Areas of interest and experience:

• Pregnancy and parenting

​

• Life transitions including grief and loss, relationships, school/career
