Registered Member MBACP (Accred).
Psychotherapist and Counsellor
Hello and welcome, I’m Sophia.
We can all need help from time to time, counselling offers a positive intervention that can be both rewarding and satisfying at times in our lives when we will most benefit from it.
Having the right support can help us gain a shared and wider perspective on ourselves and our difficulties, this wider awareness can often bring a sense of relief and clarity, allowing us to feel and where helpful make better choices.
As a seasoned therapist I am here to offer you skilled professional support along with genuine warmth and understanding. To feel fully seen, heard, and accepted is the foundation for success in therapy, something I commit to provide to all my clients. Working as an integrative therapist, means I draw on a range of techniques from different types of therapy to provide you with all-round support, tailored to your needs.
As a registered, accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy I also have a high standard of knowledge, experience and development, widely valued throughout the industry.
My 30-year career working in the field of learning and personal development, across the private, public, and voluntary sectors has afforded me a deep knowledge and experience in supporting individuals and teams to broaden and deepen emotional intelligence. I can draw on this experience to support and facilitate ongoing personal growth in myself and my clients. I have worked in further education as a tutor in mental health awareness and counselling skills, and as a volunteer counsellor at my local hospice.
