More about Sophie

  • 5 years' experience

  • BACP

Therapy tends to be considered when a person is experiencing difficulties or problems that have a significant effect on a persons everyday life and where other approaches have been tried without success.

I have been able to develop my own integrative model of what I believe it is to be a human being and why we may come to need therapy. My model is both developmental and relational and uses Gestalt theory and attachment. Through using this model with clients in a range of ways, I believe it can be effective in giving people the resources and pathways for living a more fulfilling life and relationships whilst offering a safe, non judgemental confidential space.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I started my therapy with what for me were debilitating issues and I had very tiny amount of hope of making any progress due to how little success I had had in the past. but through working with Sophie I am in the best place I have been in in my entire adult life, her knowledge and expertise to see things you never would have has been so refreshing and I always leave our sessions feeling so much more prepared for the challenges ahead. But for me one of the biggest factors of the success I've had working with Sophie actually is her guidance and teachings , she has taught me so much in how to challenge my own problems and Annalise my own self. I've learnt so much so that I can stop issues before they even begin and this truly has been one of the biggest revelations. I feel more equipped than ever before. She also has some amazing recommendations of outside sources from books to videos etc that have given me so much information I wish I had had in years prior. I couldn't recommend Sophie enough she truly has made me a much healthier person with new life In me, which is something I really did believe wouldn't be possible.

Sophie has been fabulous for me. She has helped me so much & helped to change the way I look at things in my life. I can’t thank her enough!

Reviewed January 2023

Sophie has been amazing in helping me sort out some deep rooted issues I have had surrounding relationships and bringing together the pieces to make sense of why I feel the way I do and working with Sophie has enabled me to put in some boundaries, which I did not feel able to do previously. Sophie's approach is straight to the point, asking really interesting questions and picking up on the right points of what I've been saying to get to the bottom of it all. I always come out of the sessions feeling stronger and empowered. I shall definitely be recommending Sophie and will come back as and when I need to. Thank you, Sophie.

At the time of being asked to write this review by better help I am only a few weeks in to my therapy with Sophie and will definitely write another review further down the line. But in my initial first few weeks Sophie has been nothing but fantastic, in our video calls she takes every bit of information in even though I am someone who can really ramble on, she analyses things without bias and makes me aware of feelings and processes I’ve gone through for years that I never even noticed which greatly help me understand myself better, and we’re still so early in and are really just in the stage of getting to know me better, but after every video session I honestly feel amazing and like such a weight is off my shoulders and a lovely feeling of making progress together with hope and excitement for the future. I journal on here a few times a week and Sophie always responds to my journal entries and through everyone of those interactions I feel I learn something new and knowing I have this support really does give me so much more confidence. She is regularly in contact with me throughout the week and has been nothing but supportive and even at this early stage I feel a new confidence of improving myself under her guidance. So even though I’m very new to better help and haven’t known Sophie long I have already felt the benefits of her knowledge and expertise which is combined with her non judgemental supporting nature, for the first time in a long time I am excited about the future and that solely goes down to Sophie’s work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for qualified expert help with there mental difficulties and worries from small to large.

Sophie has helped me in so many ways. I frequently feel during our video sessions or our conversations via messaging that my mind is being blown away by her ability to see the patterns in what I am experiencing and helping me identify how I can grow on my self acceptance and love journey, heal from my childhood trauma and build a healthy life for myself. I said to Sophie it felt like a miracle the progress I had made and that’s because Sophie really understands me and what I personally respond to as a client. She seems to know exactly what to say and has helped me so much. I honestly couldn’t recommend Sophie enough.
