About me
Hi! I’m Sophie, I’m an experienced children and young people’s counsellor who uses sensory, playful, and creative methods to give children and young people ways to express and explore things about themselves that may be difficult to put into words.
I am an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on a variety of therapeutic theories and approaches depending on the individual needs of each child/young person. My main aim is to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where children and young people feel heard, understood and accepted. Together, and often in collaboration with parents/carers, we can gently explore whatever they may be experiencing, at their own pace, while developing their confidence and self-belief, their emotional understanding and their coping strategies.
I feel privileged to support children and young people on their therapeutic journey of self-discovery, witnessing them develop a stronger understanding of who they are, recognise their strengths, and discover how they can thrive in the world.
