About me
Hello & thank you for visiting my page 🌻I’m Sophie, an integrative counsellor with experience of working with a diverse range of individuals and life challenges.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, neurodivergence, stress, low mood, relationships with others, people-pleasing, negative self-beliefs, or you just need a space to talk through your experiences and deepen your self-understanding - I'm here to walk alongside you as we explore ways to improve your wellbeing.
The insights gained within my professional training and through navigating my own healing journey, have shaped my approach as a therapist. My work with you is grounded in empathy, compassion, and an understanding of the courage it takes to seek support, as well as the importance of feeling truly seen, heard, and understood.
We can explore how patterns of behaviour and coping strategies developed, while looking compassionately beneath the surface at the experiences that continue to shape how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you.
I often use the analogy of a tree: coping strategies can help tend to the branches, but if the core remains unseen or unsupported, real change can feel temporary. Alongside practical tools for day-to-day regulation, I offer thoughtful reflections and psychoeducation to help things make sense — supporting you to understand why certain patterns exist, not just how to manage them.
I take an integrative and collaborative approach to therapy. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be impacting your wellbeing, while working at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
I understand that every person’s story is unique, which is why I tailor sessions to your individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I offer both short-term and long-term therapeutic support.
Finding the right therapist is so important. You’re welcome to contact me via email or text to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call, where we can talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and whether I might be the right person to support you. 🌻
Training, qualifications & experience
My studies include an undergraduate degree (BSc) in Psychology and a masters (MSc) in Positive Psychology and Counselling. My postgraduate studies allowed me to integrate evidence-based psychological theory with counselling practice, exploring not only psychological distress but also resilience, wellbeing, and human flourishing.

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.
