Psychotherapy and counselling

Sometimes we just need to talk things through and gain insight into what is happening in our life or the important decisions we are facing. Other times, we need to go deeper and address underlying beliefs and heal the past.

Counselling can help enormously to gain clarity through the difficulties we can all endure in our life. Whereas, psychotherapy delves deeper into your unconscious mind when you continue to make the same mistakes or poor choices over and over or have suffered trauma and it has impacted your life. Psychotherapy gets to the root of the issue once and for all. It is only through this pathway that permanent change is felt.

Counselling is an excellent tool to come to your own solutions in an organic way. However, even after many sessions of coaching or psychology, often the deeper issues for a person are never fully resolved.

What is the difference between psychotherapy and counselling?

Psychotherapy

Working deep into the unconscious mind, Sophie's psychotherapeutic methods are innovative, rapid, and holistic. The results are long-lasting change, which Sophie achieves by eliminating barriers and healing trauma that hold her clients back from living fulfilling and successful lives. Sophie specialises in somatic and psychodynamic techniques that provide her clients with lifelong skills. Our mind holds many normal healthy emotions as well as holding onto trauma of repressed, painful memories. These are stored in our unconscious mind and once a person is relaxed, repressed feelings and unresolved trauma can be released and be resolved safely. This is a revolutionary approach and a fast effective way for new, healthy pathways to be formed in the mind.

Uncovering your story

Working with Sophie allows you to explore your own narrative and to reveal the parts of you that limit your freedom.

We all have a story. It’s our own unique narrative that lies at the heart of us being human.

Our story defines who we are, who we used to be and who we are becoming.

Telling our story to ourselves and others helps us to make sense of all the chaos and drama that has unfolded in our lives and is the driver for connection with others.

We share our stories of liberation, redemption, and recovery to give us hope and allow others to understand us more fully. The power lies in how we self-witness and articulate what we have been through.

Through this expression, true self-healing occurs
