A word from Sophie, your therapist

My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply human. I work integratively, drawing from person-centred and relational foundations, whilst also being influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a model that helps us understand the different “parts” of ourselves, from inner critics to vulnerable or protective voices, and how these parts are experienced in the body.

IFS offers a compassionate, depathologising lens: rather than seeing yourself as “broken” or needing to be fixed, it invites curiosity about the different parts of you, each trying in its own way to protect or meet a need. This perspective shapes how I hold space, supporting clients in noticing these parts and the physical sensations that accompany them, and in building a kinder, more understanding relationship with themselves.

Alongside this, I draw on evidence-based approaches including CBT-E, DBT/RO DBT, and Intuitive Eating, using them flexibly to support changes in thinking, emotional regulation, and relationship with food and body.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about creating space for all the messy, beautiful, in-between parts of who you are—and finding new ways forward together, grounded in curiosity, compassion, and connection.
