Sophie Scott

I am a highly qualified BACP and UKCP registered integrative transpersonal psychotherapist. Before retraining, I spent many years working in the media and building my own wellbeing business, experiences which gave me a deep appreciation of both the opportunities and pressures of modern life. But my interest in psychotherapy began much earlier.

When I was a teenager, my mother died. Therapy became a place where I could begin to process my grief, understand myself and envision the person I wanted to become. It showed me, first hand, how transformative therapy can be, and ultimately inspired me to train as a psychotherapist myself.

Having had a career in the media and running my own startup for many years, I feel these rich experiences, along with the many hiccups and dead ends along the way, have contributed to making me a compassionate, relatable and realistic therapist. I'm certainly not an inactive therapist who says very little!

My approach combines deep psychological exploration with helping you find a practical way forward. I believe life asks us to cultivate both action and reflection. No two clients are ever the same, and I will always meet you where you are.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of approaches, including attachment theory, behavioural experiments, visualisation, Inner Child work, mindfulness, body and breath work, and accessing the creative imagination. Integrative transpersonal psychotherapy recognises that even our deepest wounds can become a source of growth and transformation.

My book "You Are Not Alone in This: Supporting a Loved One's Mental Health Without Losing Your Own" (Watkins) is out now. Alongside my clinical practice, I am an experienced lecturer, and regularly speak in the media about emotional and mental health.

I see clients face-to-face on a weekly basis in central London for an agreed period of up to 2 years. 

Limited online slots are also available. 

Some testimonials:

"Sophie balances warmth, sensitivity and empathy with honesty, and has an ability to challenge and question in a way that stimulates thought and self reflection without ever coming across as abrasive or judgemental. Would recommend her without hesitation.” Testimonial by R.C.

"She creates a haven for me once a week where I can safely explore everything and anything. She's opened my eyes to new ways of thinking, and is genuinely so good at what she does. Above all, she cares deeply and you can tell. I'm so grateful to Sophie for taking me this far and opening my eyes to the power of self-acceptance, and helping me realise that there is a lot of hope for the future.” Testimonial by K.T.

"Sophie has really changed my life." Testimonial by A.F.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone call should you wish to ask any questions ahead of booking in – please feel free to get in touch to schedule this.

Our first meeting is a 60-minute face-to-face or video call, where we can get to know one another a little better and make sure we’re a good fit. Ahead of this assessment session, I will send you a confidential questionnaire which covers important aspects of your life to date.
