About me
I’m Sophie, a counsellor based in Bristol (and online) with over 15 years’ experience supporting adults through challenges like anxiety, childhood trauma, identity and sexuality questions, and neurodiversity.
My style is warm, flexible, and down-to-earth. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, I’ll shape our sessions around what works best for you. That might mean structured strategies, space to talk things through, or simply creating a calm place where you can breathe.
I’m LGBTQ+ affirmative, trauma-informed, and committed to inclusive practice. What that really means is: whoever you are, and whatever you bring, you’ll be met with respect and care.
I offer sessions online and in a dedicated therapy room in BS6 and a home therapy room in BS4.
