Sandra Coles is a clinical psychologist and psychologist based in Gledswood Hills, NSW. Her practice is at Suite 1, Unit 15A, 1 Gregory Hills Drive, Gledswood Hills NSW 2557. She offers therapy for individuals, couples, and families, in a way that feels calm and practical, not rushed.
In sessions, Sandra helps people work through tough times and everyday problems that have started to get bigger than they should. That can include stress that won’t seem to shift, low mood, worry and overthinking, relationship strain, and patterns of behaviour that keep playing out even when everyone wants things to be different.
She also provides couples counselling for people navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, trust issues, or just feeling disconnected. At times, couples come in wanting a clearer way forward, while others are trying to understand what’s been going on underneath the surface. Sandra uses structured, skills-based approaches, so sessions can lead to practical changes at home.
For families, she supports changes that help everyone feel safer and more able to cope. This might look like working out communication rules, reducing blow-ups, or helping family members respond to each other in a kinder and more steady way. Family therapy can be difficult at first, but it often brings relief once everyone is on the same page.
Sandra’s approach includes behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It’s not about “positive thinking” all the time. It’s more about noticing unhelpful patterns and building better coping skills. Over time, that can make stress feel more manageable and give people more choice in how they respond.
People often start therapy when they feel stuck, burned out, or unsure how to move forward. Sandra works at the pace that suits each person. She also helps clients set goals that feel realistic, so progress doesn’t rely on willpower alone.
Training and professional development are part of how she keeps her work grounded and up to date. If you’re looking for a psychologist in Gledswood Hills who can support individuals, couples, or families, Sandra Coles is there to help you make sense of what’s happening and work through it step by step.
