Sophie

I am an Integrative counsellor and have been working in this field for over 10 years. My integrative training allows me to use a variety of theories and models of counselling and psychology to tailor the way I work to each individual I work with. Therefore if one approach isn’t helping or doesn’t fit with you, we can explore it through other lenses to find the best fit for you.

I have personal experience of narcissistic abuse and I deeply understand the various ways this can affect us. I offer a safe, supportive, friendly and confidential space to explore your feelings and what is going on for you. A space to express yourself in the knowledge I will not judge you – I will accept you as you are. I provide a warm and compassionate approach and I aim to build and nurture a relationship of trust and honesty to enable you to gain a sense of choice in your life. I believe that everyone has the ability to make changes in their lives and their thinking and, with support, can work towards a more contented and happy way of being. I’m constantly in awe of the transformation that people can make through counselling and I feel privileged to be able to be a part of it.

​

I specialise in adult and childhood trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD, past or present abuse including mental, emotional, physical, sexual, financial, narcissistic abuse and coercive control. This can come from family members, spouses and partners, colleagues, organisations and those in positions of power. I also work with anxiety, depression, grief and many other issues.

I offer short, medium and long-term therapy. I have clients who come for weeks, months and years.

I am based in Bristol and work online and by telephone with people from all over the UK. I am an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS membership number: NCS18-06849) and I adhere to their Code of Ethical Practice. I attend regular professional training and attend supervision twice a month. I hold full liability insurance and an Enhanced DBS Certificate.

I am also an experienced supervisor, working with trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
