About
Whether you've been struggling for a while, or if an unexpected life event has hit you hard, taking the time to talk, process, and reflect can help you make sense of how you’re feeling, equipping you with the tools and mechanisms to make changes and move forward. When working with clients, I do not believe there is a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Having trained and practised across different therapeutic models and techniques, I am able to facilitate a flexible approach that can be tailored to your individual needs and preferences. I view a warm and collaborative therapeutic relationship as central to our work together, and provide a non-judgemental, engaged space for you to be heard. We will work together to help you gain insight into what might be causing pain or feelings of being stuck, and move towards understanding and fulfilment.
Position at Priory

Training
Sophie holds a Masters Degree and Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has also gained an Advanced Diploma in CBT and is a Registered Member of the BACP. During her training, Sophie spent a number of years providing counselling for charities and community interest projects, working with a variety of people from different walks of life. Sophie takes an integrative approach to her work and specialises in treating those experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, perfectionism, stress, imposter syndrome, relationship issues, burnout, life-transitions, shame, or work-related issues.
Research interests (if applicable)
Sophie conducted qualitative research into imposter syndrome and how it can impact the professional work of those who experience it. Imposter syndrome tends to be described as feeling like a fraud, doubting one’s own abilities, and a chronic sense of incompetence and inadequacy. Sophie has a continued interest in this field and uses learnings from her research to inform her clinical work, particularly when working with those experiencing perfectionism, low self-esteem, and shame.
