More about Sophie
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a mixed race counsellor with a deep level of understanding regarding culture, neglect, oppression, racism and identity. I work with adults of all ages, backgrounds and identities. I work in a person centred way and like to put emphasis on you feeling seen and heard within the moment whilst exploring current emotions and experiences in a compassionate and holding environment. I will also draw upon other theories and approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Psychodynamic theory and Attachment Theory to further your understanding and potentially implement changes within your life that you may not have recognised as wanting to change.
I provide a safe and confidential space to explore and understand your current difficulties and situation whilst drawing upon past experiences and relationships with others, to help deepen your understanding and sense of self. My non judgmental and genuine approach within the therapeutic relationship enables a comforting and holding space to work towards reaching your full potential.
We can work together in addressing issues that feel unmanageable and help to unpick and make sense of those overwhelming feelings and scenarios we have to face in everyday life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
