About me

Hi, I'm Sophie and I'm a Counselling Therapist, based upon Burton-upon-trent. I currently offer face to face and video call sessions for both adults and children.

Reaching out initially and starting therapy can at times be a hard and difficult decision for many, yet can also be an easy and obvious choice for others. I'm here for all circumstances. Everyone's journey in life is unique and the therapy sessions I offer are tailored to the individual for that reason. I may blend and combine therapies in order to support you best whilst providing you with a safe, comfortable and confidential space to explore the reasons for attending therapy.  

My therapy room is located in a rural farm courtyard in Burton-upon-trent which enables you to take a step back momentarily and take a breath in a peaceful setting. 

Some areas that I work with are: 

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Eating Disorders
  • Panic attacks
  • Trauma 
  • Self-esteem 
  • OCD
  • Life events
  • Anger

This is not an extensive list and what you may be experiencing may not be listed above. Please do get in touch and we can discuss what you or a family member may need support with. 

As an experienced therapist and an Accredited Registrant Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCS19-08292), I can assist with all queries and assist you with your next steps on your current journey. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I have 7 years experience and I'm qualified and experienced in the following:

​Psychotherapeutic Counselling
Child and Adolescent Counselling
Accredited Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) 
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy specifically for Eating Disorders (CBTe)
Rewind Therapy (for Trauma)
 

I am currently providing therapy via video call and telephone.  All therapy sessions are tailored to the individual and the current issues they have brought with them to therapy. This means that due to my style of working I may blend therapies and techniques or use different approaches that I feel would be beneficial to achieve your therapy goals; rather than using one specific approach throughout; we will discuss all therapy options together within the session and make a collaborate decision.
