She's great, but we just started. It seems a bit premature to give a proper review, but I am looking forward to more sessions. She's gentle, but I do not doubt there's a tough, matter-of-fact energy about her approach. I like that. Looking forward to progressing.

ABOUT ME
My name is Sophia and I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) practitioner, Hypnotherapist, trained Life Coach and graduate in MSc Psychology at Essex University. From my years of education and experience, I believe that I can bring significant benefits to clients through my assertive and empathetic approach to each individual.
Patients from Macmillan Cancer Research, Aviva and Bupa have been previous and current referrals that have strengthened my psychodynamic perspective on my clients. A lot of sessions with me can include person-centred therapy, alongside a working technique of hypnotherapy, CBT and EMDR. These techniques have resulted in life-changing outcomes for my clients. As a compassionate counsellor with a progressive history of working with trauma, OCD, and depression, I have an excellent ability to build therapeutic relationships to facilitate growth.
When in a session with me, clients notice my gentle, cheerful and positive character, which encourages everyone to feel safe in every session. With trust, clients notice my pride in their success, as we explore the obstacles that stop them from getting the most out of life. With utilising my outstanding interpersonal skills and experience in integrated therapeutic techniques, I can connect with any client from any background or identity, to be a helping hand in achieving healthy goals. I am motivated and creative, with a comprehensive ability to accommodate to each clients needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

she helped me a lot. she understands the problem deeply and approaches it from different angles. she is attentive to details and the words you say. she is like a researcher who examines you to find the best therapy. it was a very cool experience and thanks to her for that!
I'm only in my first few weeks of therapy with Sophia, but she is very easy to talk with, and I feel comfortable and confident that she can help me on my journey. So far our conversations have been insightful and rewarding.
After a few sessions, i feel like I can talk to her about anything, I have instant comfort. It's nice to get a real different perspective as well!!
She is very patient and gentle in her approach. I feel comfortable almost immediately with my therapist even though this is my first time ever talking to a therapist. She made me believes that therapy can help heal our mental problems.
Sophia is helping me to feel good feelings and come back to myself. I appreciate our therapy a lot!
Sophia is an incredible therapist. She is personable, honest, and caring. I always felt listened to, and I never felt judged. Highly recommend!
Sophia is really great. She really takes her time to listen to me and help me feel better. I really love our sessions.
Sophia transformed my outlook using a very attentive, patient and expert approach. With a strong ability to delve into the heart of a matter, Sophia deftly found effective techniques to tackle deep-rooted challenges in a calm and gentle manner. Within weeks my mindset shifted from feelings of hopelessness to self-empowerment and greater confidence. I'm still on a journey and each day brings a new challenge and I feel better equipped to face them thanks to Sophia. With her warm, friendly and considered approach she built a warm, safe and trusting environment. I feel blessed for the time spent together and would very much recommend Sophia.
Sophia is calm as a monk. I really feel peaceful after our sessions
It is clear that Sophia truly cares about her clients and is very passionate about helping people improve their circumstances and overall quality of life. Sophia is extremely patient and a great listener which allows her to really understand her clients' needs and what methods will best help them progress and overcome any personal challenges. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sophia as a life coach and/or therapist and I am extremely grateful for the impact she has had on my health and well-being since working with her.
