My name is Sophie and I support people therapeutically with mental & life wellness. 

I provide RTT Hypnotherapy, psychotherapeutic counselling, mentoring, and coaching online via digital-remote methods such as video-conferencing, via the telephone, & via instant-live messaging, to your home, office, or anywhere you find safe and private.

I draw holistically from many different therapeutic approaches and evidence-based methods to meet your individual needs and goals - each session is bespoke to you.

I can be the one constant and safe person in your life, no matter what else is happening. I can witness your experiences & help to guide you to what is important to you or help you to figure that out if you're ever feeling lost, stuck or overwhelmed.

My core therapeutic style is in Person-centred counselling and this is always at the heart of my services. It means I believe everyone has the power to access their best version of themselves and blossom into their most authentic Self. It also means that I treat you with warmth, compassion and acceptance so that you may flourish.

In practice, I am integrative which means that I draw from many therapeutic and psychological approaches because I believe that no one model fits all so enjoy a variety to best meet the needs of my clients.

I do take a trauma-informed approach to therapy which means where possible, we look to understand and heal the root of the symptoms you are experiencing, such as anxiety, people pleasing etc. 

I have many areas of interest; my primary five would be identity, anxiety and related issues (e.g. OCD, BFRB), bereavement, including grief and loss, stress, and women's issues (such as PMDD, PME, PMT, PASS).

I am also happy to use the pronouns you prefer, Neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ friendly.

My mission is to use my knowledge and skills to transform people so that they can live a life that is completely fulfilling and enchanting to them.

I love what I do and I do what I love.

My aim is always to support my client with what they need to reach their goal, even if that is simply being happier with themselves.

I want to use my skills and knowledge to help you gain more autonomy, self-esteem and hope so that you can live a life that brings you more joy and less stress, overwhelm or conflicts.

Witnessing you realise mindset shifts, implement behavioural changes, and overcome life's challenges is why I do what I do.

I live with passion and supporting my clients is a true passion and privilege for me.

I have worked in support services since 2012 and am passionate about sharing my skills and knowledge to help others with whatever they are struggling with.

I am dedicated to following an ethical code for counsellors and continually update my knowledge base with all of the wonderful new research, tools and techniques that I strive to understand and learn to merge in my therapy services.  This means I draw on research and developing best practices from psychology, counselling, philosophy, neuroscience, meditative studies, and other holistic areas that are less easily defined. 

I believe personal development is eternal so learning new ways of helping others is a passion for me!

Wild Robin is the heart-centred and bespoke  service I offer. It is bespoke because no two people are the same, therefore the way I work with each client is tailored to their exact needs and wishes & looks at their entire world. 

"I pride myself on being a role-model to my clients - practising what I preach.  If I haven't tried it personally or it's not scientifically sound (has a good research evidence base), then I won't recommend it. 

I love helping my clients walk their own path of healing. Insight-oriented questions are one of my favourite interventions as they really allow the client to deepen their self-awareness and autonomy which is what I'm all about =]

I want every client to walk away  knowing they can create their own destiny.

My style is encouraging, uplifting, and full of wisdom."

The first session is charged at the rate of your other sessions as it lasts as long as any other full session. I have found that this works better because people tend to find themselves relaxing and want to speak more but then the time does not permit if it is a short initial session. I find this unethical because my client will have opened up and then has to leave, so I choose not to work this way.

I endeavor to provide as much information as necessary before the session so that my client is comfortable and has a good enough idea of what it would be like to work with me. I have also found that people who are really adamant about a short "introductory session" are not actually ready for therapy according to Person-Centred theory. I provide a free 10-minute telephone consultation as I am always happy to answer a question over the phone or online if there is any prior query or trepidation, perhaps due to anxiety or nerves of speaking with someone new.

What is the booking process for sessions?   

Submit an enquiry via the contact page - include the service you want, your availability for sessions/when the best times and days are for you, and how soon you wanted to start so that I can offer you the most appropriate time slot to make arranging a session go smoother and more quickly.

I will reply to your enquiry asap & provide you with answers to any specific question you may have asked & send you the therapeutic contract for you to read through before proceeding. I will not be able to proceed unless this is sent back completed. To do so, select "Annotate" on the PDF & "type text" & "sign" appropriately, Save & email back.   

After your payment has been received, I will send you the appropriate session attendance details. 

During the first session your therapy goals or aims are set in accordance with what you disclose, and your therapy journey has begun!
