My name is Sophie and I am a fully qualified Person-Centred counsellor. I am an experienced Person-Centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).

I am patient, calm and friendly. I am also very down to earth and feedback I often receive from clients is that they find me very approachable and easy to talk to.

In my spare time, I like practising Pilates and meditation as an essential way to look after myself.  I also have a real passion for the outdoors and enjoy going for walks in the countryside with family and friends.

I recognise that life can be hard sometimes and so, if you are going through a difficult time, then do reach out.  I work in a non-directive way and this means that during our sessions, it will always be your choice to share as much or as little as you are ready to do.

How I Can Help

I will help you explore the areas of your life you wish to focus on in a safe and  non-judgemental way while working at a pace you feel comfortable with.  I fully embrace the person-centred approach recognizing that you are the expert when it comes to your own situation.

My experience as a counsellor has offered me an opportunity to work with people facing a range of  life’s struggles: from feelings of depression & anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement, work-related stress and relationship issues, through to the day to day issues that face the families and friends of those suffering long term mental and/or physical illnesses.

Taking the first step to reach out may be difficult which is why I offer a free initial telephone session of 20 minutes to help you decide whether I am someone that you would like to work with; it also gives us the chance to explore what you need from counselling and how I can help you.
