Sophie Mayall

I currently have weekday evening availability, with additional daytime availability (Wednesday, Thursday & Friday) from January 2026. 

Hello, I’m Sophie and I offer face to face counselling sessions in North Shields.

Whether you are struggling with feelings of self-doubt, stress, ‘stuckness’, people pleasing, anxiety or depression, I’ll help you untangle what’s going on and work with you on ways to feel calmer, more confident and in control.

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ registered counsellor and qualified from the Northern Guild of Psychotherapy. I have experience working with a variety of struggles ranging from anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, to exploring identity, relationships and personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, which means I pull from different modalities and tailor my approach to what you need, whether that is space to explore or something more structured, so don’t worry if you don’t know type of counselling you want, we can discuss this together.

I am person-centred, which means my core belief is that everyone has an inherent capacity for growth and self-healing. My clients have described me as kind, gentle, and easy to talk to and I hope that I can provide you with a calm and supportive space to explore what is going on for you.

We would begin with an assessment where I can explain how I normally work and hear about what’s brought you to therapy (no issue is too small), and where you would like to go. This helps us both get an understanding of each other, but there is no obligation for you to proceed if you decide not to.

Sessions are 50 minutes and typically weekly or fortnightly, in person, although we can discuss what works best for you and your circumstances.
