Sophia Malaspina

I have availability within my practice and work Monday-Wednesday. 

I am a fully qualified counsellor and Accredited Member of the BACP with 10 years experience. I have worked with adults in a variety of different environments including NHS and Mental Health charities. I have extensive experience in anxiety, depression and working with sexual abuse and childhood trauma. I also have experience of working with neurodiversity. I am happy to work with students who have a course requirement. I am also a Lecturer in Counselling at Gloucestershire College.

Does something just not feel "right" or perhaps you are at a crossroads in your life? Are you having issues with anxiety or depression?

Counselling can offer you the space and time to work on any issues that may have come up for you. Together, we can work on understanding "you" a bit more.

Taking some time for yourself is extremely important. I do understand that counselling can feel daunting, but hopefully we can work through your fears together in a safe, confidential environment.

In our initial session, we will explore the reasons you have come to the counselling, take some background and history of yourself and we can discuss your expectations of the counselling and what you would like to achieve.

I offer weekly face-to-face sessions as well as online/telephone in a private space in the centre of Cheltenham.

Please do get in touch for further information.

In the first session we will discuss your background and history exploring what you are experiencing and how best to move forward. 

In our introductory call, I will explain how everything will go including how to get to the building and what a first session will look like.
