Hear what Sophie can offer;

My career in healthcare has provided me with a lived experience of the challenges such a role brings and the personal impact it can have on an individual.  In recent year I have realised the aspect of my job I value the most is creating the space to be with and talk with people, and I am privileged to witness the positive effects this has. 

I also appreciate the significant demands our 21^st century lifestyle places upon us and the often unrealistic standards we can impose both on ourselves and our relationships.  This can leave little time for selfcare and reflection.  Non-judgmental support, connection and the ability to be truly heard can increasingly be missing in our lives and counselling can provide this, within a secure and supportive environment.

My approach to Counselling is Integrative which means I bring different elements of specific therapeutic approaches together to suit your individual needs and circumstances. For example, you may wish to seek help with anxiety, or maybe you are experiencing a major life transition such as divorce or bereavement. Together, we can explore your concerns and areas of difficulty within a time frame that works for you.  

I am approachable and down to earth and will offer space where you are valued, listened to and accepted without judgement.  I am passionate about my work and I believe the counselling relationship is essential in supporting you, so choosing the right therapist is important.

I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their ethical guidelines.  I undertake regular clinical professional development and participate in clinical supervision.

If at any time I consider you may benefit form a more specific counselling approach which I am not adequately trained in, I will always be transparent in advising you of this.
