Supporting individuals to heal, reconnect to themselves, and thrive. Hi, I’m Sophie Boord, a gestalt psychotherapist & Somatic Experiencing (SE) Practitioner based on the Mornington Peninsula. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed counselling and therapy where you can slow down, listen to your body, and begin to make sense of your experiences — past and present. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Together, we work gently to restore balance, resilience, and a sense of safety within yourself and your relationships.
I offer an integrated body-oriented approach to healing trauma and chronic stress. This method gently helps you reconnect with your body’s natural capacity to self-regulate and release stored tension. With mindful awareness of physical sensations, we work to restore a sense of safety and ease in your nervous system — allowing healing and transformation.
I am committed to creating an environment that is inclusive, affirming, and respectful of all identities, cultures, and backgrounds. My practice is LGBTQIA+ friendly, body-positive, and guided by empathy, curiosity, and authenticity. You are welcome exactly as you are. I also work with chronic health conditions and Long Covid. Feel free to give me a call.
