ClinicalSupervision & Mentoring.

When a therapist, coach or educator hasn’t walked their own path of deep growth, it shows. They skim the surface, sticking to safe scripts and sidestepping shadows.

Their comfort zone becomes their client’s ceiling. Sessions feel like polite and stagnant conversations instead of life-altering breakthroughs. Clients sense the hesitation—the uncharted territory the coach or therapist won’t venture into.

Clients might observe a lack of genuine presence or emotional depth, which limits trust and inhibits their ability to explore their own vulnerabilities. Space for true transformation shrinks.

The reality is, you can’t guide someone to places you haven’t dared to go yourself. If a therapist or coach hasn’t faced their own depths, they’ll struggle to lead anyone beyond the shallows.

Sophie Birgan is a Clinical Counsellor, Registered Psychotherapist, and Accredited Supervisor in the Mackay Region and online. Sophie draws on 20 years of experience in holistic health as a practitioner, therapist, and facilitator and the many mentors, teachers, and personal experiences integral to her life’s journey.

An experienced and compassionate therapist, Sophie holds a degree in Psychological Science and Counselling and is a Level 4 member of ACA (Australian Counselling Association) and certified practicing member of PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia), with a substantial background in self-healing, facilitating permanent, profound, and positive change for individuals and to live happier and healthier lives.

A therapist’s depth determines their client’s potential for change. If you haven’t faced your shadows, don’t expect to illuminate theirs.

As a gatekeeper for your professional development, Sophie is passionate about SoulFuel and shines a light on the “therapist first” approach to your supervision. Skilled at supporting others to have fruitful relationships in all areas of their lives, Sophie’s method is psychodynamic and solution-focused.

Sophie’s supervision injects a rich blend of wisdom, experience, and intuition. With keen insight, she helps unravel complex cases, offering fresh perspectives that deepen understanding and broaden your approach. Her mentorship goes beyond technique, guiding you to tap into your own strengths, refining intuition, and building a practice that’s both effective and authentic.

Working with Sophie, you will gain more than just guidance— you will unlock deeper layers of your own potential, empowering you to create profound, lasting change for your clients.

Read what therapists and professionals say about Sophie's Supervision and Mentoring.

"Sophie has supervised me monthly for well over a year now, and I have loved every moment of it. She is so easy going. I have learned so much from her, and she always knows exactly what to say. She has helped to make me a more confident counsellor and business-woman (and human). I love that our telehealth sessions make things flexible and convenient, but they are still engaging - as if she is in the room with me. Every session with Sophie is truly an enriching conversation. Worth every cent (and some!)". Amber (Brisbane)

"As a woman in touch with her divine nature, Sophie resonates a magnetic frequency and offers safety and compassion to all those around her. With a great deal of knowledge, experience, and passion for her offerings, Sophie is guaranteed to profoundly impact your life."
Sophie Hayes (Mackay Region).

"Sophie is incredibly encouraging; she has a rare gift for making you feel like the most important person in the world. Her presence is uplifting, and her wise counsel has guided me through many challenges. I always leave her feeling inspired and grateful for her support and insight. I couldn't recommend her more highly!"
Aletta Marshall. (Mackay).

"Sophie is amazing. Her wisdom, kindness and authenticity has helped me immensely." Ally North (Caboolture)

"A wonderful place to share experiences and ask questions regarding approaches to clients’ unique needs. We always have a time of focussing on a theme/word and doing some meditative exercises, after which we discuss client related issues. The group stimulates bonding with like minded people, and is a safe place to bounce off ideas and how to get engaged on different levels, sharing experiences and pointing towards developmental and educational courses." Maria Wassink (Mackay)

"Sophie creates a supportive, thought-provoking environment that encourages both personal and professional growth. Thanks to her supervision, I’m now delivering deeper, more impactful work with my clients and have a better understanding of my therapeutic practice. I highly recommend Sophie to any therapist looking to take their practice to the next level!" Amber May (Mackay)

As my counselling supervisor, Sophie's knowledge and expertise are invaluable. She has a way of guiding you to solutions and other ways of seeing situations in therapy.
Sophie allows everyone in the group supervision to talk about what's needed on that day for them or their clients.
In one-on-one sessions, Sophie provides a safe space to work through your 'stuff', allowing you to be the best you can be for yourself and your clients.
I highly recommend Sophie's Supervision services. Fiona Koutlis (Energy Balance EFT, Mackay)
