Sandra Taylor

From my first experience of Emotionally Focused Therapy I was hooked. EFT is an art whilst also giving a clear and logical process to work through collaboratively towards healing.
I especially love working with partners, particularly those who are LGBTQ+,  to help heal their relationships,  and my passion is in training and supervising therapists to learn this amazing approach. Together we make such an amazing impact on the world - my thanks to Sue Johnson, the lead developer of EFT.
I am an experienced therapist, supervisor and trainer based in the North West of England. 
 Some of my intersecting  identities are that I am a lesbian cis-gender white female, disabled and Catholic. 
 
I am the Director of AcRE EFT Training Ltd which provides EFT training.
I am also a co-Director of the British Emotionally Focused Therapy Centre (BEFT) - a group of professional therapists who have come together on a voluntary basis to form a community of Emotionally Focused Therapy practitioners in Britain.
I am an ICEEFT certified EFT Trainer, Supervisor and Therapist based in Lancashire, England. I work in private practice and am a co-Director of the British EFT Centre www.beftcentre.org 
I am based in Britain and train here and internationally face to face and online. This includes supporting PSEFT, Poland. I am also increasingly offering LGBTQ+ centred EFT training internationally online with Robert Allan, EFT trainer.  I run EFCT Externships and Core Skills courses - the two levels of EFT formal EFT training and continuing professional development workshops.

Some of my identities are that I am a lesbian cis-gender female, white, disabled and Catholic. I co-edited with my partner ‘And GOD saw it all was very good: Catholic LGBT People in Europe Telling Their Stories’ (Esuberanza, 2015).
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I previously worked as Director of Relationship Counselling in a national charity, and was a Senior Lecturer providing counsellor trainer at the University of Cumbria after more than 10 years as an Occupational Therapist in a range of mental health settings.
I am a warm, engaging and knowledgeable trainer who is passionate about enabling therapists to learn EFT in its simplicity and subtle complexity, with its general principles and its adjustments to affirm clients in their intersectional identities.
