Sophie Bates-O'Reilly

My availability is flexible, but I currently am closed for session's on a Tuesday evening and Wednesday all day.

Hi my name is Sophie Bates O’Reilly and as a passionate person centred counsellor and BACP Individual Organisational member, my lived experience allows me to understand the best ways to address each client’s needs in a bespoke, client friendly manner.

I feel a one size fits all approach doesn't work.

Every human experience is unique to that person.

I use a mix of psycho educational empowerment, somatic connection, grounding exercises and Humanistic and Existential therapy to help walk the road with you to wherever or however far you feel you can go.

Please remember this is your journey, you are in control.

I offer online and face to face counselling in the Surrey region.

My sessions starting cost - £55 per 50 minute session. I do offer concessions for Benefits entitled clients. I work Monday to Saturday, daytime and evening availability is possible.

I offer a 20 minute non obligation call or zoom so see if we can work together.

You’ll never know your full potential until you give yourself a chance.

I am a humanistic therapist so we will work together, this will be a partnership.

I am also a trauma informed therapist, with experience in CPTSD and trauma recovery.

Having a foundation in the NHS I’ve been extremely fortunate to work with a full diverse client range.

If after our introductory call or zoom and preliminary contract has been received and agreed (no obligation) we will have a first session to talk through our agreement of working together.

Every client agreement holds the BACP commitment to clients at its core.

We will discuss what your aims, expectations and goals if any you have any.

I offer open ended counselling as well as short solution focused therapy.

I will explain my limits and legal requirements as well as tell you how I work.

This is a time for questions and there are no silly questions here.
