Sophie brings over 12 years expertise in working with individuals across a broad range of issues and life situations to her new practice location in Mornington.

Sophie integrates Somatic Experiencing with gestalt psychotherapy and art therapy, providing a creative, embodied and highly attuned style of therapy that supports the processing and release of stress and trauma within a safe therapeutic relationship.

I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s happening beneath the surface — your emotions, relationships, patterns, and goals — so you can move toward greater clarity, confidence and connection.

specialisations

Sophie specialises in working with anxiety, depression, ongoing stress, trauma and PTSD, mental health conditions, grief and loss, and chronic health conditions such as ME/CFS, long COVID and fibromyalgia. Sophie also works with relationship challenges and life transitions, and can support you to make the next step in your career or move toward something different in your life.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, identity, relationship difficulties, grief, stress or a general sense of feeling “stuck”, I’m here to help you slow down, reflect, and create lasting change.

somatic touch practice

In addition Sophie offers Somatic Touch Practice which is especially suited to those with chronic health conditions and highly sensitive nervous systems. Sophie has experienced her own healing journey with Long COVID and wants to bring her understanding to your journey.

Somatic Touch Practice is also beneficial for people who’ve experienced relational and developmental trauma (trauma that occurs at a young age). This could be growing up with a parent with a mental illness or a chronic health condition, or the loss of a parent in childhood, or the experience of family violence. Somatic Touch practice helps regulate your nervous system & supports processing on a pre- or non-verbal level.

inclusive

Sophie is committed to providing a safe environment that is inclusive, affirming and respectful of people of all abilities, identities, sexualities, genders, cultures and backgrounds, as well as those who are neurodiverse. You are welcome exactly as you are.

supervision

Sophie offers supervision for psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers, and can help practitioners integrate relational work and trauma-informed Somatic Practice into their work.

Sophie works at Samantha Drive, Mornington on Monday and Tuesday.
