Hello there and welcome to BetterHelp. Thanks for reading about me and what I do.
My name is Sophia (she/her) and I’m a licensed counsellor. I am originally from New-Zealand (I’m sure you’ll tell from my accent) and now call the UK home. I hold a Bachelor of Psychology and a Masters in Counselling. I am passionate about counselling because I believe in full citizenship for those living with mental and physical challenges. To achieve this, my mission is helping people to thrive .
I have 8-years of experience working both adults and young people, and still work in both hospital and community settings. I approach is integrative - grounded in a person-
centered stance, while using blend of Acceptance and Commitment therapeutic and Motivational Interviewing techniques. I have extensive experience working with a range of psychological concerns and life challenges for both adults and young people. These include, anxiety, depression, life-changes, relationship challenges, bullying, family conflict, parenting support and improving health behaviours.
What you can expect from me:
I believe that a therapist can provide direction, support, and expertise within a unique and secure relationship, as well as guide conversations to support the your desired improvements. I assist people reframe difficult and often painful experiences in their lives, so that the picture changes along with the frame. Pain and loss can be turned into insight, guilt into gratitude, and avoidance into awareness can all be beneficial.
Wishing you all the best on your journey.
Warmly,
Sophia

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
