Sophie Thompson

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, and I aim to offer a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore whatever is bringing you to therapy.

I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a registered member of the 麻豆原创. I work in a relational, trauma-informed and integrative way, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and adapt my work to suit you as an individual. Our work together will move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on the issues that matter most to you.

I have experience working within the NHS and Charity settings with adults presenting with anxiety, low mood, trauma, identity and relationship difficulties, neurodivergence, and life transitions.

I have lived experience of neurodivergence and I am particularly interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals, those navigating complex emotional experiences, and people who may feel overwhelmed or 鈥渟tuck鈥� in patterns that are no longer serving.

Alongside my Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a PGCE in Education. My work in education informs my therapeutic work, especially parents navigating the SEND system.

I believe therapy can be a meaningful and nurturing process, offering the opportunity for deeper self-understanding, emotional regulation, and lasting change. I place great importance on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, as I believe this is central to effective and healing work.

I offer a calm, supportive and confidential space where you can explore what is happening in your life, at a pace that feels right for you, where I aim to help you feel safe, heard and respected.

I work in a relational, trauma-informed and integrative way, adapting my approach to suit you as an individual. I support adults with anxiety, low mood, trauma, identity and relationship difficulties, neurodivergence, and life transitions.

I offer both short-term (8-12 sessions) and longer-term therapy (12+ sessions).

Sessions are available in person, with the option to continue online after an initial period of face-to-face work, where appropriate.

I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship and work collaboratively, with warmth, clarity and compassion.

During this session, we explore what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and some aspects of your personal history. You share only what feels right for you, at a pace that feels manageable.

This session also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and for us to discuss whether our work together feels like a good fit. We can talk about whether short- or longer-term therapy may be most helpful and consider any practical arrangements.

By the end, the aim is for you to feel clearer, supported, and understood as we consider next steps together.
