Sophia Behling

I am an integrative psychotherapist working with children, young people and parents, mainly within school settings. My practice is rooted in creating a safe, thoughtful and containing space where clients can make sense of their feelings, relationships and experiences. Drawing on psychodynamic, attachment-based and developmental approaches, I tailor therapy to each individual using talking therapy alongside creative methods where appropriate. I believe that growth happens through trusted relationships and the opportunity to think together, helping children, young people and families develop greater emotional understanding, resilience and confidence.

I offer a warm, confidential and supportive space where children, young people and parents can explore whatever is affecting their wellbeing. My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual, drawing on talking therapy and creative approaches where appropriate. Together we work to develop greater understanding of thoughts, feelings and relationships, helping clients build resilience, confidence and healthier ways of coping. I believe that change happens through safe, trusting relationships and aim to provide a calm, respectful environment where clients feel heard, understood and able to grow at their own pace.

I offer a free 30-minute Zoom consultation before we decide to work together. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain from therapy, and whether I am the right therapist for you. It is also a chance for you to ask any questions about the counselling process. If we decide to proceed, we will agree on the most appropriate way of working together, including the frequency of sessions and practical arrangements.
