Sophie is a relational gestalt psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) & clinical supervisor informed by attachment and developmental approaches. Sophie offers a creative, embodied and highly attuned style of therapy that supports change through somatic processing & nervous system regulation within a safe therapeutic relationship. Sophie works in private practice at Abbotsford Convent, Melbourne, and in Frankston South, as well as online. Sophie’s approach is grounded in cultural humility, respect for lived experience, and collaboration, with care shaped to each client’s unique needs and identities.
As a psychotherapist I don’t push for change, but work with you to gain deeper understanding of yourself and your experience. I have found that in time, from this place of deep self-understanding and acceptance, change takes place naturally and spontaneously.
Feel free to give me a call.
