About me
Hello, I’m Sofia
I’m a BACP registered Psychosynthesis counsellor and a transpersonal therapist. In simple terms, this means that alongside a psychological approach, I also hold in mind the connection between mind, body and spirit, and how these different parts of us shape the way we experience ourselves and the world around us.
If you’re looking for somewhere you can talk openly and be yourself, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where we can explore whatever is going on for you. You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of what you need. Perhaps you also have a sense that there is something deeper you would like to understand or explore.
How I work
My approach is integrative and rooted in Psychosynthesis. Alongside talking therapy, we might draw on mindfulness, body awareness, drawing, writing, or other creative ways of exploring your experience. There is no set formula. We can find a way of working that feels natural and useful to you.
Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships and patterns, including things that may be less conscious or harder to put into words. We can make space for different parts of yourself, uncover your own strengths and resources, and begin to see things from new perspectives.
I’m open to having difficult conversations, while staying aware of what comes up for both of us. I believe we can approach difficult experiences with honesty and curiosity, while learning to meet ourselves with more kindness and compassion.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start wherever you are and take things at a pace that feels right for you. Counselling isn’t about fixing something that is wrong with you. It can be a space to understand yourself more fully, reconnect with what matters to you, and find your own way forward.
Who I work with
I support people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement, stress, confusion, and periods of feeling stuck or uncertain. I have particular experience working with neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD and autism, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I’m also interested in supporting people going through periods of personal or spiritual transformation, or those who feel a sense of longing or curiosity about something deeper within themselves.
Whatever your background, beliefs, or life path, you are welcome here. You don’t need to fit into a particular way of being or have a particular reason for coming to counselling.
Working together
If something in what I’ve shared resonates with you, I’d be glad to hear from you. We can start with a conversation, see how it feels to connect, and take it from there.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am currently undertaking Transpersonal Psychotherapy training at Re-Vision. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling from the Psychosynthesis Trust, an MA in Interdisciplinary Psychology, and a BSc in Psychology. I am also a qualified member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Alongside my private practice, I have experience supporting neurodivergent children and young adults, particularly those with ADHD and autism, and have worked with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have also trained in mindfulness, which I bring into both my personal life and therapeutic work.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
