Psychotherapy and Trauma Processing.

Sophie's Trauma Processing Treatment bridges the gap where mainstream psychology and counselling do not go.

The work is deep, rapid, and effective without re-traumatizing.

The results are long-lasting changes achieved safely so you can take back your life and live wholeheartedly and courageously.

Trauma-informed counselling or traditional talk therapies do not include trauma processing treatment. Talk therapies generally focus on psychological health in a person's present thoughts and feelings and apply rational thinking to improve the situation, which will only access the conscious awareness in your mind. Talking therapies help you to clarify goals and explore your beliefs and values; however, they do not have access to the unconscious mind, where deep trauma and persistent issues are repressed and retained in the limbic system.

Research in neuroscience and epigenetics tells us that accessing the brain to heal trauma can be effective, safe, and long-lasting. By clearing one neural pathway at a time in only a few sessions, permanent change for a person can be possible.

What is the difference between psychotherapy and counselling?

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapeutic pathways for rapid healing are person-centred and solution-focused, which get to the root of the issue once and for all.

Talking Therapies can effectively support you in coming to your solutions organically and guide you to identify obstacles and problem behaviours. However, even after many sessions of this style, a person's deeper issues are often never fully resolved.

The EMI (Emotional Mind Integration) psychotherapy approach I use is empowering and self-resourcing. By accessing the mind and the body in each session, the conflict or disturbance is resolved, leading you to let go safely and feel free to start living the life you truly desire.

Counselling

You can't change what you can't acknowledge.
Sophie will guide you to resolve especially personal, social, or psychological barriers and difficulties you face in your life.

Speak with Sophie in a safe space where she will help you develop strategies to better understand yourself and grow practices to assist in your own personal resolutions. Counselling encourages growth, insight, self-exploration and awareness.

It helps you discover your own resources and taps into your own inner richness which ultimately leads to greater self-fulfilment.

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
