Hello! My name is
Sophie. I trained as a Clinical Psychologist in the UK
and I’m registered in the UK with the Health and Care
Professions Council (HCPC).
I offer online
sessions for English-speakers to support adult mental health and
wellbeing using Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, an
evidence-based short term therapy. I worked for the NHS
in London for over 8 years, with adults and children
experiencing mental and physical health difficulties. I
now work with people experiencing a wide range of
difficulties; my main areas of specialisation are
chronic health conditions and parental mental
health/parenthood.
I have been trained to use a number of different
therapies and have seen their different benefits which
I'm so pleased to be able to offer sessions based on
Brief Solution Focused Therapy. I know from the
evidence-base and clinical experience that this can help
you move forward in your life, effect change quickly and
help you cope in even the most difficult circumstances.
All therapies involve developing a meaningful
relationship with your therapist. But while many
therapies have an 'archaeological' approach, that is
going back into your past experiences, or a
'problem-based' approach looking at what is going wrong
for you, the Solution Focused approach shifts the
conversation to helping you identify for yourself your
own best ways forward, in real and manageable ways. Our
work together will help you identify the changes you
want to experience in the future, and what could help
make them happen. It's a transformational approach which
is forward-looking and very practical. And it's
cost-effective - many people see changes in their life
from only a few sessions, and often only need between
5-8 sessions spread out over a number of months before
they decide that things are going well enough to stop
meeting.
I offer a free 15 minute conversation for you to check
to see whether my way of working is a good fit for you
right now.
