Hi, I’m Sophie, a dedicated and compassionate counsellor
Passionate about supporting you
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Level 5 Advanced Specialist training in Counselling Children and Young People. I offer a safe and nurturing environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. My goal is to support you on your journey towards understanding and healing. Additionally, I am qualified in equine-assisted therapy, which allows me to incorporate therapeutic work with horses to further enhance the healing process.
As a neurodivergent counsellor, I understand the unique challenges that can come with navigating the world through a different lens. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and person-centred: I value difference and embrace diversity, providing a space where every experience is respected and acknowledged. This understanding enables me to support you with compassion and authenticity, especially if you are neurodiverse, exploring your identity, or seeking strategies for self-acceptance and thriving.
My therapeutic approach is both person-centred and integrative, meaning I draw from a variety of techniques tailored specifically to your unique circumstances. I can incorporate creative elements, including art therapy, into our sessions, as I find that these expressive practices can enhance the therapeutic process. Additionally, I am qualified in equine-assisted therapy, which involves therapeutic work with horses to help improve emotional awareness, build trust, enhance communication skills, and reduce anxiety. This unique modality can deepen the healing experience by fostering connection and personal growth in a non-judgmental and supportive environment. I firmly believe that together, we can empower you to discover your own solutions and develop coping strategies that resonate with your individual strengths.”
My extensive training has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to support individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, and relationship difficulties. I am committed to adapting my methods to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring a personalised therapeutic experience.
I understand that taking the first step toward seeking help can feel overwhelming, but I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can work towards achieving clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose in your life.
If you are ready to take that important step, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute consultation to discuss how I can help you and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to being a part of your journey toward a healthier, happier you!
