Sophie Pinney

HELLO I'm Sophie,

I'm here to Help.

I have 20 years Counselling Experience & I am a qualified Clinical Supervisor & Accredited BACP. I am a practicing Buddhist with experience in Mindfulness & Meditation. Qualified lecturer in cousnelling & Psychotherapy, and a trainer in wellbeing, self esteem, anger, stress and mindfulness.

Are you struggling in your own headspace? Want to talk things over and learn how to get in a better place?

Therapy works in many ways:

In essence talking to someone trained to listen will help you get to know yourself more deeply and by becoming more self aware it will make it easier to identify areas which are causing you distress and help find solutions to move forward to a Happier You!

Common issues people come to see me about are:

Anxiety, ANGER, Relationship issues, Suicidal Thoughts, LOSS & Bereavement, Feeling Sad, Dissatisfaction in life, Family issues, Depression, Stress, Panic Attacks, WORK, Negative Thinking, Low Self Esteem & Confidence, Parenting, Abuse, OCD, Trauma, Weight, Health, Sexuality, Separation & Divorce, Childhood experiences, Self Harm, Sabotaging behaviours, Insecurity, Paranoia, Feelings of helplessness and many more.

My Counselling Practice: Online Zoom or Telephone Sessions

ABOUT ME

Most importantly I pride myself on being a 'Real' person - meaning therapy with me feels like a real conversation, we are in this together and I will talk as well as listen!

I hope I steer clear of the cliche Therapist remarks like "and how does that make you feel?"    Therapy should feel like talking to a trusted friend but with the bonus that I am completely impartial, confidential and trained to listen and help find solutions right for you - led by you.

I am Qualified Psychotherapist. I use a variety of modalities to make yoru therapy needs idividual to you!

INNER CHILD. Working on healing the Inner Child in you.

Childhood and our developmental years are where we learn the most from experiences on how to process and deal with the world around us. Working with the inner child can be useful in understanding how we develop our personality and how we view the world and relationships that we take into adulthood.
