More about Sophie

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy.

My experience as a psychotherapist has been varied, working with spousal and parental bereavement, relationship issues, and navigating through difficult life events. I have also worked with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, people with addictions, and with general and complex mental health issues – such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.

I offer Person-Centred Therapy – a humanistic therapeutic approach that focuses on creating a warm, accepting, and authentic relationship between client and counsellor. As a person-centred therapist, it's my role to understand your experience from your perspective and why you are feeling the way that you do. I will facilitate your personal exploration of whatever you choose to bring to our sessions - and hold space for you when you need to process difficult emotions.

PCT aims to empower the client to be an active agent in their healing and growth. As such, sessions are non-directive - they are led by what you, the client, want to explore and work on. I do not set agendas or try to impose a direction on the discussion. This may be very different to other types of therapy you’ve done before, or to the picture of therapy you have in your mind. That freedom can feel overwhelming at first. It is completely ok to not know where to start, or to arrive at a session feeling like you have nothing to say – often that can prompt exploration in itself!

The strength of non-directive therapy is in its empowerment of the client, and its respect for your agency and dignity. Our sessions are your safe space to say what you want, feel what you want – without judgement or censure.

PCT is an exploratory style of therapy which focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of distress. It may not be a suitable modality for you if you are looking for a therapist to teach you techniques or coping strategies, or if you are solely interested in symptom management. Likewise, the non-directivity of PCT may not be a good fit for you if you are looking to be directed or advised by your therapist. I am very happy to discuss any concerns you may have either before or during our first session to work out if we are a good match. No one type of therapy works for all people - and my priority is always to ensure you get the support you need.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
