More about Sophie

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a mixed race counsellor with a deep level of understanding regarding culture, neglect, oppression, racism and identity. I work with adults of all ages, backgrounds and identities. I work in a person centred way and like to put emphasis on you feeling seen and heard within the moment whilst exploring current emotions and experiences in a compassionate and holding environment. I will also draw upon other theories and approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Psychodynamic theory and Attachment Theory to further your understanding and potentially implement changes within your life that you may not have recognised as wanting to change.

I provide a safe and confidential space to explore and understand your current difficulties and situation whilst drawing upon past experiences and relationships with others, to help deepen your understanding and sense of self. My non judgmental and genuine approach within the therapeutic relationship enables a comforting and holding space to work towards reaching your full potential.

We can work together in addressing issues that feel unmanageable and help to unpick and make sense of those overwhelming feelings and scenarios we have to face in everyday life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
