  • “When I first came to counselling I didn’t know what to expect, I had no previous experience with counselling and I found myself quite shy and reserved. After only a couple of sessions with Sophie I started to open up to her and the trust I felt with her was unexpected, I never thought I could be so open and honest with a complete stranger.”

  • “Sophie helped me understand myself more than I ever felt like I have before in my life. I truly can't thank her enough for the difference she has made to my life since losing my father.”

  • “She really helped pull my life back around and I really don't know where is be now if it wasn't for these sessions. I'm so much happier now coming out the other side of them, in what feels like a short year my life has completely turned around and changed for the better and I can't thank Sophie enough for that.”
