Thank you for taking the time to look my profile. My approach to working with you is about what you want to work on and achieve in therapy. Whether you are experiencing sadness, depression or a sense of disconnection, the human condition is characterised by a fundamental desire for connection and being heard. I work holistically on your whole self - the mind and body as one. This is firmly routed in my trainings and experience. I have a relaxed and informal approach, which supports your ability to be truly who you are, in a non-judgemental and confidential environment.

Therapy offers insight and understanding helping you work towards an awareness of the self. It gives the opportunity to discover inbuilt defence mechanisms that perhaps no longer serve the person you have become as a result of the traumas we all experience in life. Counselling can be a quiet, safe space to breathe and think about your life. Who you are, where you are going and what you wish to gain. It can be a space to grieve the losses you have experienced in your life and the changes that happen throughout your life.

I am BUPA registered.
Before I tell a little about myself, allow me to say, well done for getting this far! I appreciate that many people become a little anxious at the prospect of an intense atmosphere in a counselling room. Thats not how I work though. My first aim is to help you relax. To see that yes, it is a 'safe and confidential environment for you to talk about anything that you want'. But there's no need for it to be a heavy and intense atmosphere either. I believe we can be practical, pragmatic and make some real changes without sacrificing empathy or compassion.

I work with and receive referrals from the following healthcare providers and organisations: Aviva, AXA, Bupa and WPA.
Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, depressed, lost, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck. They may be navigating burnout, low self-worth, relationship challenges or a life transition such as career change, menopause, or the end of a relationship. Often capable and reflective, they're ready to understand what's going on beneath the surface, ease internal pressure, and make meaningful changes. Their goals often include feeling more grounded, building emotional resilience, and creating a calmer, more connected relationship with themselves — and life. They're not in crisis, but they know something needs to shift.

Are you in a role where pressure or exposure to trauma is just ‘part of the job’? You’re relied upon to step in when others wouldn’t, but lately it’s felt a struggle. You’re still functioning, but have noticed you can’t switch off, struggle to sleep and things that never bothered you, are. You feel stuck in a cycle, but asking for help feels like defeat. Burnout isn’t weakness. Repeated exposure to stress or trauma accumulates in the body, and even the most resilient of people will experience the impact of being on high alert for too long. That shift can feel unnerving when your identity is built around competence and coping.

My approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and a deep understanding that healing is as much about reconnecting with yourself as it is about addressing the wounds you’ve endured. Where relevant I can help you to understand the source of your core pain, which acknowledges and honours the struggles you have already endured while identifying the strengths you have developed to adapt and survive. Where some of these adaptations have become unhelpful, I work with you to discover healthy coping mechanisms and tools moving forward.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift no matter how much you try to think your way through them? Understanding can help, but it doesn’t always change how things feel day to day. You may have already tried to work things through on your own, but still feel stuck. In our work, we look at the patterns behind how you feel. Not just why they’re there, but how they continue to affect you. Talking therapy can help you explore and make sense of your experience. I also draw on CBT and EMDR, which work more directly with patterns, behaviours, and past experiences.

Feeling safety in a complex world is no mean feet. Childhood, historic, or current experiences, interacting/reacting with the complexities brought about by the pandemic, can exhaust any capacity for resilience. maybe you're a parent/carer of children transitioning from the intensity of lockdown to the uncertainty of the easing of restrictions? Is this further complicated by returning to education settings for children with Autism, ADHD, FASD, SPD, trauma and attachment? Maybe you are a foster care or adoptive parent wondering how to rebalance the attachment bond after the intensity of lockdown, recalibrating interfamilial dynamics?

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.
