Sophie Hillwood-Harris

Life can be challenging, and at times, we all need a space to reflect, process, and find clarity. My private practice is based in Bromley, from where I offer a safe, private, and supportive environment for you to focus on yourself.

You may be feeling stuck, struggling with relationships, facing difficulties at work, or navigating distressing thoughts and emotions. Whatever your situation, I am here to listen—without judgment, with empathy, and with a commitment to helping you explore your experiences.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from different therapeutic models to support you in the way that feels most helpful. Whether you’re looking for short-term support or long-term psychotherapy, we’ll work collaboratively to find a path forward that feels right for you.

In practice since 2014, I have counselled young people, adults and older adults with many different issues including depression, stress, low self-esteem, and anxiety. In more recent years I trained as a trauma-informed therapist working extensively with trauma, post traumatic stress, shame, adverse childhood experiences, childhood sexual abuse, and sexual violence.

My practice is open to all and I welcome diversity 

Each session is 50 minutes in length and I offer Zoom sessions as well as face-to-face. During the first session I may ask you for some background information about your family and your history, but you needn't share any more than feels comfortable. It will be an introductory session and a way of seeing if I am indeed the right therapist for you. You do not have to commit to another session if it doesn't feel right for you. Going forwards, we will have weekly sessions at a time that works for us both. 

Counselling may be just the first step in self-care, in allowing yourself the time you need to work though and make sense of the issues that have brought you here and it takes courage to seek help, so If you would like to arrange an initial chat to see if I’m the right therapist for you I offer a no-fee phone consultation at flexible times to suit us both.
