Sandra Malaise

Hello! I am a qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist (MBACP) in Private Practice (SoundMind Counselling). As you can see from the title, I am passionate about counselling and music, and hold an MSc in Applied Music Psychology from Roehampton University. I am also an advocate for LGBTQ clients specialising in Gender and Sexual Diversity, and working with neurodiversity. I am currently a Counselling Tutor for the CPCAB Level 2 certificate. I also run workshops and wellbeing courses here at RHACC. Previously, I worked as a professional singer, Teaching Assistant, Primary School Teacher, ESOL Teacher and Music Teacher as well as a Counsellor for Place2Be, Addiction Support and Care Agency, and Headstrong Counselling (where I continue to work as an Assessor). I started working for RHACC at the end of 2021 after having been a student here for 5 years. "To love means to be actively concerned for the life and growth of another" Irvin D. Yalom
