Hey - how you holding up? 

If you’re here, it’s probably because something feels heavier than you’d like to admit. Maybe you’re managing on the outside, while on the inside you feel overwhelmed, unsettled, or stuck in your own head, going over the same thoughts again and again. Or maybe you sense there’s a version of you you’d like to grow into, but you’re not quite sure how to get there yet.

I’m Sophie. I work with people who want space to slow things down, make sense of what’s been weighing on them, and feel more like themselves again.

Therapy offers time, attention and room to breathe, especially when life has started to feel like too much.

Therapy when things start to feel like too much 

Sometimes it’s a specific situation that brings you here. A relationship that’s become confusing or painful. A life change you didn’t see coming.

Other times, it’s harder to pin down. You might just know that you’re exhausted from holding everything together, and that the ways you’ve been coping aren’t helping in the same way anymore.

Therapy gives us a chance to slow things down and make sense of what’s been building beneath the surface, at your pace. Together, we can explore what’s been weighing on you and find steadier ways forward that feel right for you.

    — Louise Seffron, Therapist

  • "I've worked with Sophie since 2023, facilitating workshops, leaders and mental health champions training as well as co-running supervision sessions for groups. Sophie is warm, professional, reflective and able to hold people and spaces with care and expert clinical skills. It's not so common to witness another therapist in what they do, and it's been inspiring to see how Sophie interacts with human beings with such authenticity, empathy and insight. Something I really appreciate with Sophie is she is totally real, present , and I see how people respond to that, they open up, they feel safe to do so. I have always felt so supported when working with Sophie - her integrity exceeds the therapy space. I often recommend 1:1 clients to her as I I know they are in totally safe hands."

    — Kate Hogan, Psychotherapist and Coach

  • "Sophie brings a rare combination of warmth, steadiness, and depth to her therapeutic group delivery work. From the moment you meet her, there is a quiet confidence and genuine presence that helps people feel at ease. Her way of working is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply human. Sophie does not perform empathy or authenticity; she embodies them. She offers careful attention, emotional attunement, and a quality of contact that allows people to slow down, breathe more fully, and feel truly met. This creates a therapeutic space that feels both safe and alive....gentle at the edges, and solid at its core"

    — Anna Davis, Senior Psychoeducation Manager, Self Space

She brings into the space a sense of warmth and understanding that makes you feel like nothing you say is going to be judged or used against you, and she is an absolute dream to work with.

  • "Sophie takes time to understand others and truly cares about connecting with and helping them. She has a beautifully calm presence and is genuinely interested in what others have to say. She's incredibly knowledgeable and kind, and it's a pleasure working with her."

    — Olivia Muir, Clinical Operations Lead, Self Space

  • "Sophie is a therapeutic counsellor who knows how to sit with what’s real. She doesn’t rush to fix, soften, or over-intellectualise. She listens properly. She tracks the room. She notices what’s said, and also what isn’t. People feel safe with her not because she’s vague or gentle for the sake of it, but because she’s precise, attuned, and deeply respectful of the work."

    — Lynsey Skinner, Dramatherapist, EMDR, and CBT Therapist

  • "As a workshop and training facilitator, she’s exceptional. Sophie can hold a group like a steady container, being warm, boundaried, and alive  while still tending to individual needs within it. She has that quiet authority that doesn’t need to announce itself. The room settles when she speaks, conversations naturally deepen, and people lean in rather than check out."

    — Lynsey Skinner, Dramatherapist, EMDR, and CBT Therapist

  • "What truly sets Sophie apart is her ability to translate therapeutic theory into the real world without losing its integrity. Her workshops don’t just sound good on paper, they properly work. She blends clinical depth with lived experience so seamlessly it can look effortless. This is someone who understands the nervous system, relational dynamics, and psychological safety and knows how to make those ideas land in a way that actually changes how people think, feel, and act."
