Sofia Villalobos (BA) (MSc) (MBACP)
About me
Have you been struggling with depression and anxiety? Do you feel your life has become stuck in repeating behaviours which are affecting your life? Have you been suffering from a recent loss? Perhaps you would like to explore your thoughts and feelings in a warm and secure environment.
I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist running a private practice in the heart of Islington and online, offering short-term and open-ended therapy (ongoing). I work using a psychodynamic approach, which means we will explore links between your past and present bringing a deeper understanding to some of your difficulties not just the symptoms.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help you to make lasting changes to your relationships and emotional well-being. It brings awareness and understanding to the issues you are struggling with, to understand why you feel the way you do, or why relationships have taken a particular form. With a better self-awareness comes healthier ways of being and relating. It can also help with sudden challenges in life such as loss and bereavement
I can provide a warm and compassionate approach to explore the issues you are finding challenging. Some of my areas of expertise are the following:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Relationships
- Loneliness
- Work-related issues
- Low-self esteem
- Loss
- Bereavement

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
