EQUINE- ASSISTED THERAPY & ROOM-BASED THERAPY.

"Sophie made me feel genuinely understood and supported from the start. Her calm, caring approach helped me open up about things I'd never shared before."

Do you feel like your mind never shuts off, constantly replaying conversations, worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet, and struggling to find a moment of calm? These can be signs of anxiety, which often bring persistent worry, tension, and a sense of overwhelm, even when there’s no immediate danger.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Together, we’ll discover practical ways to quiet your mind, build your confidence, and help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to yourself and others.

I support clients with a diverse range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, sensory processing challenges, and relationship difficulties. With a warm, non-judgmental space, I can help you explore your feelings and develop strengths for positive change.

Is the thought of sitting in a room face-to-face with a counsellor daunting? Well, I have just the thing for you. Equine-assisted therapy is an experiential approach using structured interactions with horses to foster emotional resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. These gentle, hands-on sessions are available for both individuals and groups, including corporate days, making them suitable for children, adolescents, adults, and workplace teams seeking new ways to connect, de-stress, and build confidence in a supportive environment. Sessions focus on building a connection with horses, providing immediate, non-judgmental feedback and a nurturing space to explore feelings and develop coping strategies 

I offer a private practice space set in a peaceful rural location, surrounded by beautiful countryside views. The setting provides plenty of off-street parking and privacy.

I am 20 minutes from Shrewsbury. 

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what you hope to gain from counselling and see whether working together feels like the right fit. It’s important that you find a counsellor who feels right for you.
