About me
Hello, I am Sophie. I am a fully registered and accredited MBACP psychotherapist. Whilst I work with a broad range of concerns and issues in my practice I have a particular interest and specialisation in trauma therapy. I hold a postgraduate diploma with distinction in Trauma Therapy from The Naos Institute, which coupled with various extra trainings and work in this field equip me with specialised expertise in this area.
In addition to my trauma-focused work, I also have experience supporting clients dealing with alcohol and addiction issues, as well as their family members whose lives have been impacted. Drawing on my time working as a birth doula, I'm skilled in helping women and men process the emotional complexities and issues that can arise both pre and postnatally and also from the birth itself. I also support clients experiencing changes in their health or life circumstances.
Further to this, I specialise in supporting A-level and university students, though my availability for this is more limited. For 5 years, I worked within the NHS (part of a CAMHS team) as a youth counsellor, and I also spent time as a college counsellor in a sixth form setting. This background allows me to support young people navigating the unique challenges life can bring.
Regardless of the specific issue, my approach is warm, empathetic, yet also robust. I work collaboratively with each client to achieve their unique therapeutic goals.
My practice currently full and I am unable to take on new clients at present.

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.
