Hello! Thank you so much for being here. I offer a personalised, holistic and non-clinical approach to therapy - fostering a safe and supportive space to explore and discover what is happening for you on a deeper level. Through authentic connection and individualised care, we work together to understand your concerns on a deeper level and discover the root cause of them through deepening the connection of your mind, body and emotions. I naturally integrate a sense of openness, playfulness and humour into our sessions all the while upholding a grounded, respectful, and focused approach within the therapeutic process.
The intention is to create a space where all of you can be honoured, seen, heard and cared for. I truly believe that we do not heal in isolation but in the presence of others who deeply understand us! My commitment is to remain authentically engaged with you and to be responsive to your needs.
All of you is welcome here. It's an honour to hold space for you. I am committed to journeying alongside you on your therapeutic journey. Please feel free to connect with me via email, phone call, or SMS. Together we can organise a phone or video conversation to see how I can support you. Connect on Instagram - sophiamariatherapy for more.

Unresolved trauma, anxiety and stress are some of the main concerns I work with. During our initial sessions, there is space for us to unpack and explore your current concerns and how your past is showing up in the present. Many of my clients experience immediate shifts and changes within a few sessions together.
