Sandy Litt was born and raised in South Australia, and was educated at both Adelaide and Flinders University. He began working with children from the onset of his career, where he specialised and became a Child Psychologist under the guidance of Dr Marie O’Neill. Sandy has undertaken over six years of study and training and continually updates his knowledge through additional training every year.

Sandy is Director/Psychologist of Glenelg Psychology, a well-established private psychology practice which provides therapy and hypnotherapy for a broad range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD and dissociative disorders. He has spent the past 37 years working in private practice, specialising in various areas of psychological trauma. Sandy regularly provides psychological and intellectual assessments, as well as providing assessment, diagnosis and treatment to children, teenagers and adults. He has also provided medico-legal reports and given expert witness testimony.

He has taught, trained and supervised numerous psychology students/trainees. From 1988 to 2010, Sandy took on two students every two years for supervised experience towards full registration. This took place while also having at least two students each year for minor placements, agency visits and third year university psychology students on placement. Sandy was asked to be an examiner/assessor for a Dissociative Disorders Master’s thesis, because of his expertise in that field. He was also a lecturer in the Diploma of Clincal Hypnotherapy for many years.

Apart from being a husband to Teresa, father to two daughters and running a busy private practice, Sandy has also authored, co-authored and published many books;

• Raising Happy Kids
• Risking on Purpose
• Being Safe – The Basic Essentials

These have been written with parents and teachers in mind, offering skills and strategies to help with children’s behaviour and development.

• Zing and Zipp, The Troggs of Wongo Wongo Wood
• Nolly and Groogle, The Gillows of Crimply Creep
• Listen

These have been written to teach children and young adults skills in Protective Behaviours (a programme established in the 1980’s and run throughout primary schools in South Australia to provide skills in dealing with many abusive situations).

Psychologists can help with issues you are facing and improve your life. Sandy can tailor a consultation process to suit your needs, and help guide and support you through change. This is offered in both a confidential and non-judgmental environment. Everyone may encounter life difficulties and these can be overwhelming and confusing. There are many reasons that we may benefit from seeing a psychologist. It may be a specific distressing situation, or we may face difficult decisions, either at work or home. We may feel we are not living to our full potential and/or may be seeking to make changes in our life.
