Hi, I’m Sophie, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist specialising in anxiety, OCD, phobias and trauma. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed by worry, intrusive thoughts, or patterns they can’t seem to break. You might find yourself overthinking, avoiding situations, replaying conversations, or feeling stuck in cycles of fear or self-criticism. Together we can find you some relief, but also explore and understand why this is happening and how to change it.

I am a BABCP accredited CBT therapist, and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. If you're struggling with difficulties related to traumas or painful memories from the past, then I can help you to make sense of these and to understand why you're feeling overwhelmed. We can then process the painful memories and emotions to help you to feel calmer and more content. I have a particular interest in helping people with anxiety disorders (like OCD, social anxiety, health anxiety). I will help you to understand what keeps you stuck, and to build the confidence and skills to challenge yourself, and live the kind of life that you want to.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer make sense to you. Anxiety, low mood, trauma, or persistent overthinking may be affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self. You might appear to be functioning on the outside, yet feel internally exhausted or disconnected. Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, but feel frustrated that they continue to struggle despite trying hard to cope, or having therapy before that didn’t fully address the problem. You may be seeking a deeper understanding of what is driving your difficulties, alongside practical ways to create change.

I work with adults who are overwhelmed by life, constantly putting everyone else first, and feeling like their own needs are selfish. It can feel like an act of rebellion to look after yourself in a world that often pushes self-sacrifice, productivity, or resilience at any cost. You want to go out and connect with others, yet you often find yourself avoiding people or staying in. You spiral beforehand, and when you do manage to step out, other thoughts take over, worrying about panic attacks, feeling drained and ashamed afterwards, and replaying everything you said. You are braced for impact, but you don’t know why.
