Life Coaching Counselling in Dereham
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.

During our initial session, we will create a timeline of your significant life experiences and then explore them against how you are feeling in the present.
Thank you for stopping here. If you're searching for support, you've already taken the first step. I'm a Norwich-based counsellor, BACP member, Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society, and final year doctoral student in Counselling Psychology. I specialise in trauma, complex trauma, EMDR, sexual abuse recovery, and anxiety. I'll listen, walk alongside you, and help you find your way through. That first enquiry is not as daunting as it feels — take a breath and reach out, or go to my website to find out more.

Managing life's challenges and our mental health can be overwhelming.
I am an integrative counsellor, which means I use a combination of therapeutic approaches to best support you.

I am very mindful of how difficult finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with can be and I offer a calm and compassionate approach, while we gain an understanding of your concerns. My primary therapeutic method is ‘psychodynamic’ but I draw on a variety of ‘models’ to help in whichever way is appropriate: These may include CBT or EFT. Once we have revealed, talked-through and understood the root causes of your concerns we can examine ways of dealing with the issues and moving forward. This is a very much a joint effort where we work together to help you through the troublesome episode and out the other side.

Next, we will explore how these thoughts influence the way you live your life.
We will focus on addressing the disconnect between the 'head & heart' - what you intellectually know & what you really feel. We will teach your brain that intrusive thoughts are meaningless & you don't need to do anything about them. This will be achieved through behavioural change, including ERP. You can read more about my approach on my website.

What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
