About me

I believe psychotherapy is not merely a tool for crisis, but a proactive path toward expanding self-understanding.

It offers a dedicated space to dismantle the limiting definitions of ourselves shaped by the past and get to know our true self.

I am Sofia, and I am an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist and Certified Psychotherapist with 8 years of experience in the field.

My clinical approach is grounded in systemic family psychotherapy, centered on how our relationships profoundly shape our mental health and overall well-being.

I offer a trauma-informed space utilizing EMDR to help individuals work through complex trauma, anxiety, and deep-seated relational wounds.

Driven by a commitment to clinical excellence, I continuously expand my expertise through ongoing training in neuroscience, traumatology, and attachment theory.

Through certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I guide couples to repair attachment ruptures, rebuild emotional safety, and restore lasting intimacy.

Further information

My approach is fundamentally collaborative and tailored, treating every client's journey as a unique opportunity to learn and explore together.

Having lived and practiced across different countries and cultures, my international perspective has deepened my natural empathy and opened my eyes to the rich complexity of human identity. I bring a genuine curiosity and deep compassion to each session, meeting you exactly where you are without rigid assumptions or predefined molds.

My creative sensibilities and passion for art enrich my clinical practice, allowing me to embrace nuance and symbolic expression.
