Sophie Rihm

Hello, lovely to meet you. I'm Sophie; I'm a BACP-registered counsellor and have recently completed the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City St. George's University in London.

I currently have availability for new clients online. Sessions are available in English and German, including Swiss German, and are typically 60 minutes long. 

Over the past few years, I have worked in the NHS, charity sector, and private practice with a people from all walks of life. Most recently, I've focused on supporting people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, eating disorders and chronic illness. In my research, I'm interested in psychedelic experiences, particularly in couples, so if you're seeking to explore and integrate psychedelic experiences, I'm happy to support you in that too.

My approach to therapy is integrative, tailored to your unique needs. If you're seeking support for a specific issue, I can offer structured, evidence-based psychological therapy. If you're unsure where to begin, we'll spend the first few sessions exploring together how I can best support you.

I most commonly draw upon psychodynamic, existential, and person-centred approaches. However, if you're looking for more structured, active, task-based therapy, I also have training in CBT and CFT.

I offer 50-minute sessions online via Microsoft Teams, meaning we can connect from wherever you feel most comfortable.

If you're considering therapy and would like to see whether we're the right fit for each other, I offer a free initial conversation. I look forward to hearing from you.
