Sophie’s therapeutic approach is grounded in authenticity, honesty, kindness, and compassion — values that foster genuine connections. Having lived in Ireland for the past 20 years, she has developed a strong understanding of its culture and the unique challenges individuals face. Her previous career in the tech industry provides her with valuable insights into the pressures encountered by clients in multinational corporations. She primarily employs a person-centred, humanistic approach, placing a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. By recognizing each individual as a unique combination of experiences, Sophie integrates elements from various modalities, including psychodynamic and body-oriented techniques. Mindfulness practices are also incorporated into her approach to help clients manage anxiety and stress, focusing on the mind-body connection to promote a holistic therapeutic experience.Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest
Sophie has extensive experience working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and self-confidence challenges. Her practice is adaptable; as therapy progresses, new themes may emerge, encouraging an open-minded exploration of self-discovery. Creating a warm and supportive environment is paramount in Sophie’s work, allowing clients to feel safe in exploring their innermost thoughts and emotions. Through this journey, she strives to guide individuals toward meaningful change and fulfilment in their lives.
