Photo bundle 25 – About

I hold a degree in Psychological Science and Counselling and am a Level 4 Registered Counsellor with the ACA. I’m also an Accredited Supervisor for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Certified Master Practitioner in Systemic Family Constellations, Emotional Mind Integration (EMI), and Rapid Core Healing (RCH) Therapy. I have also completed a Diploma in Management and Leadership.

For over 25 years, my work has evolved to integrate neuroscience-informed psychotherapy with systemic and body-based approaches. Through EMI and RCH processes, I support the gentle and safe rewiring of outdated neural pathways and the resolution of deeply held emotional patterns. By working directly with the emotional brain and nervous system, we move beyond simply understanding our issues and into meaningful, lasting change.

My background in Systemic Family Constellations allows me to address intergenerational patterns that shape our lives. This work helps release unconscious loyalties and restore balance within the family system. I also incorporate breathwork, meditation, energy practices, and holistic health approaches to support regulation, embodiment, and greater mind–body coherence.

Alongside my psychotherapeutic training, I sometimes draw on symbolic frameworks such as numerology to deepen insight and self-awareness. As a 35/8 life path, my own journey has centred around empowerment, reclaiming voice, healing co-dependent patterns, and learning to lead from within.

I offer a grounded and compassionate space for people who are ready to clear old patterns, strengthen healthier neural connections, regulate their nervous system, and step into greater clarity, healthy boundaries, and personal sovereignty.

About Sophie

What we don't acknowledge we can't change.
It's all about connecting the dots. As a psychotherapist I unearth the hidden roots that anchor your present struggles.

Unspoken pain, buried traumas, and suppressed emotions quietly shape our lives from the shadows, influencing our behaviours, choices and relationships without us even realising it. When we deny or avoid these parts of ourselves, they gain power, manifesting as anxiety, depression, or destructive patterns.

Acknowledgment is the first step - when we bring the unconscious into the light, we can begin to untangle the knots that hold us back. By naming and facing our deepest fears and inner struggles, we transform them from hidden forces into opportunities of growth, healing, and conscious change.

In therapy, the power of acknowledgment is profound.

Often, clients spend years running from their pain, avoiding uncomfortable truths, or clinging to old narratives that no longer serve them. But what we avoid persists. Only by bravely turning inward and acknowledging the parts of ourselves we fear - our vulnerabilities, mistakes, and longings - can we begin the process of true change.

Psychotherapy provides the space to explore these hidden aspects without judgement, creating a foundation for self-awareness. From this place of acknowledgment, you gain the strength to break free from the patterns that have defined you, allowing for transformation and the chance to write a new story.

Are you ready?
