My name is Sophia, and I am a qualified Psychological Practitioner with a scientific, brain-based approach to therapy. I hold an MSc in Psychology from Essex University and advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, psychotherapeutic counselling, hypnotherapy, and psychoanalysis.
I am passionate about helping clients better understand how their minds work and developing practical strategies to feel more regulated, confident, and in control. My work draws on neuroscience, psychoanalytic insight, and evidence-based techniques, offering clients clear tools to manage anxiety, low mood, trauma-related stress, and day-to-day challenges.
I have experience supporting a wide range of clients, including those living with neurodivergent experiences such as ADHD and autism, as well as individuals navigating health-related difficulties, bereavement, and major life transitions. My therapeutic style integrates scientific understanding of the brain with person-centred and psychoanalytic approaches, so clients feel respected, informed, and empowered throughout the process.
Over the years, I have worked with clients referred by organisations such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Aviva, and Bupa. Many have shared that my sessions provide a safe space to explore difficult emotions while learning effective techniques to build resilience and self-belief.
When we work together, you can expect a compassionate, collaborative atmosphere where we focus on what is most meaningful to you—whether that is learning to manage overwhelming feelings, improving focus, or creating a sense of balance in your daily life.

Sophia has been incredibly kind, patient, and supportive throughout our sessions. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space where I feel heard and understood, which has made it much easier for me to open up and explore my thoughts. Her thoughtful questions and gentle, insightful guidance have helped me gain clarity, manage difficult emotions, and slowly start rebuilding my self-esteem. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, calmer, and more hopeful. She has a very special way of making you feel seen, and I’m genuinely grateful to have found her.
