Hi, i’m Sophie

A little bit about me

I am a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with fourteen years’ experience of working for the NHS and in private practice. I trained at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, a leading institution worldwide for clinical research and training in psychology and psychiatry. I am fully accredited by the BABCP, which is the gold standard in CBT.

I firmly believe that successful therapy relies first and foremost on a strong therapeutic relationship. It is the quality of this bond that enables two people to work well together, collaboratively. Therapy is an intimate process; it requires opening oneself up and sharing one’s innermost thoughts and feelings. This requires trust, care, compassion, honesty and respect, which are the values that define my relationships with clients. 

I am passionate about CBT for many reasons, but largely because I see how effective it can be. It helps people make sense of their difficulties; it teaches people invaluable skills for taking care of their emotional wellbeing; and it cultivates resilience, enabling people to respond to life’s future challenges in helpful ways.

Starting therapy is an act of courage. My priority when I meet clients is to make them feel at ease, to instil trust and to foster a sense of hope and optimism that we can work well together to bring about helpful change.

Meet Sophie

It may feel a bit daunting approaching a therapist for the first time. I am sensitive to these feelings. The feedback I often receive from clients is that I come across as warm, kind and genuine which makes people feel at ease early on in therapy. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to see whether CBT is suitable to your needs and whether we are a good fit. If you are keen to go ahead we can then arrange a comprehensive assessment.
