Sophie Finch

I'm Sophie, and I'm a humanistic psychotherapist. This means that my approach to therapy is based on the idea that being true to yourself can help you lead a more fulfilling life. I will endeavour to create a space in which you can express yourself fully and authentically, in which you can be heard and seen; an authentic therapeutic relationship in which any thought or feeling can be expressed.  I am curious to understand your experiences of life and existence, the beliefs you have about the world, and the values you are living by.

It is often the case that our distressing feelings arise from areas in which we have become stuck, or sedimented. We might be stuck in a pattern of behaviour that was once useful but is now causing difficulties, there may have been a troubling or traumatic event or dynamic that has stayed with us, we may be unable to see our way out of present situations that bring pain and suffering. Psychotherapy can help us to unstick ourselves, to sift through the sediment and uncover forgotten or unseen potential and opportunities for satisfaction in life. 

Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and literature, we will work together to understand how it is to be you, and how you would like to be in the world. Together we will explore your life, we will examine the ways in which you have come to exist in the world, and we will seek out and address previously unchallenged beliefs about yourself and the world around you. We will consider where these ways-of-being have come from, how they are impacting your life today, and what you can do to create a more harmonious, less distressing existence for yourself.
