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 also registered with Aviva, AXA, Bupa, Cigna, and WPA.
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.

Life can be unpredictable and some experiences can cause reactions we don’t fully understand. Counselling can help gain relief and clarity, helping you to find a healthier way forward. Hearing your thoughts and feelings out loud, in the presence of a trained professional can bring about shifts in awareness and perception. Facing your concerns or fears can feel empowering, helping you to feel more in control. My aim is to provide a warm, welcoming safe environment where together we can explore any worries, problems or issues that are causing you any distress, sadness or anxiety.

I believe that mental health difficulties are meaningful and understandable reactions to painful life events and situations, and so these are best treated with compassion, curiosity and respect. In this way, we may not only overcome problems, but gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our values, leading to a more balanced, fulfilling and enjoyable life. With a warm, caring approach to creating safe and reflective relationships, I can offer brief, focused therapy to build coping skills and overcome specific problems, or more in-depth work to build insight and release ingrained ways of being.

Hello! I'm Jazz, a warm and compassionate Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping people to make sense of their difficulties and find the path forwards. When we experience difficult events in life, from obvious traumas, to stressful life events (e.g., moving house, relationship break-downs), we do the best we can to survive. We learn specific ways of being, and develop ideas about ourselves and others that help us to feel safe. This is our brain and nervous system doing the best job it can. However, often these patterns of thinking and behaviour keep us feeling stuck.

After a while, trying to manage everything alone can feel isolating and unproductive. Thoughts repeat, worries build, and despite your best efforts, nothing really shifts. Therapy offers a collaborative space where we work together to understand, challenge, and change the patterns keeping you stuck. As a CBT therapist, I help you notice unhelpful cycles in thinking and behaviour, and develop practical ways to respond differently. This isn’t about “thinking positive,” but gaining clarity, control, and new ways of coping so life feels less overwhelming and more manageable.

I want to understand — and I want to help you understand your self. Because the self is waiting to be witnessed and acknowledged.
