"Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation.
Healing is an act of communion"
– bell hooks, All About Love
Sophie (she/her) is a fully qualified, body-positive, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, neurodivergent affirming counsellor.
Sophie offers a judgement and shame-free space for you to talk through your thoughts and feelings.
Sophie will provide a space to use creativity in counselling, including art and music.
If you want to stim, sketch, or move during sessions, that is absolutely fine.
Sophie is an ally in the LGBTQIA+ community and will treat all people, no matter what their gender identity or sexuality, with kindness and compassion. Trans Lives Matter.
Sophie is a body-positive therapist who accepts all body shapes, sizes, and appearances.
All bodies are worthy of care and respect no matter the size.
Sophie offers a shame-free environment where you can talk openly about body image issues, disordered eating, trauma related to body or appearance, and self-worth.
Sophie respects, values, and supports neurodivergent people. 'Neurodivergent' is a term which describes people whose brains function differently from what is considered 'neurotypical'.
Counselling is a supportive, collaborative process where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a trained professional in a calm, confidential setting. It lasts as long as it’s helpful to you. There’s no fixed timeline, and you're in control.
Whether you're facing something specific, feeling overwhelmed, or simply want to understand yourself better, counselling can offer clarity, connection, and a sense of direction.
Sophie understands how difficult it can be to start something new. This is why she offers a free 15-minute phone/ Zoom consultation.
Speaking to Sophie will give you the opportunity to explore your counselling needs, ask any questions about the process, and learn more about fees and policies.
If you decide you'd like to meet Sophie for counselling sessions, these will be held on a regular basis,typically weekly.
Right now, sessions are conducted online via Zoom.
