Dr Sophie Sunderland is a psychotherapist and counsellor working with individuals and couples. She uses an integrative, evidence-based approach that supports clients to make genuine, lasting change. Sophie has a warm and engaging manner that is attentive to the individual needs of clients. She integrates psychodynamic, relational, and attachment-based modalities, and recognises the importance of the mind-body in healing and recovery.
Sophie understands that life challenges present opportunities for healing and transformative growth. She has a strong interest in post-traumatic growth, and trauma-informed practice. She provides a safe place for clients to explore the impact of their past on their present, and to make intentional changes that foster resilience, meaning, and inner calm.
Sophie also draws from her background in social research, including a doctorate focused on grief and psychoanalytic theory, to support clients to address social pressures that affect self-expression, living with loss, fulfilling relationships, and a sense of belonging.
