Background & Expertise

Welcome — I’m Sophie.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist with over twenty years’ experience working in adult mental health, including supporting people through complex psychological and emotional difficulties.

My clinical career has given me a deep understanding of human behaviour, psychological wellbeing, trauma, stress and the processes that help us adapt and change. It has also taught me that wellbeing is about much more than the absence of mental health difficulties.

Over time, I became increasingly interested in what helps people build capacity, prevent burnout and feel more connected to themselves, rather than simply responding when things become difficult.

Alongside psychology, yoga has been an important part of my own life for many years. My interest in the relationship between mind and body has continued to grow, leading me to explore yoga, somatic practice, mindful movement and nervous system support alongside my training in Clinical Psychology.

I am currently completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training, and I am excited to bring these different strands of my experience together in a way that feels both considered and authentic.

My Approach

I believe that psychological wellbeing cannot always be separated from the body.

How we think, feel, move, breathe and experience the world are deeply interconnected. Creating space to notice these connections can offer another route towards greater awareness, regulation and wellbeing.

My approach therefore combines psychological knowledge with mind-body practices, while remaining grounded in evidence, professional experience and a genuine respect for individual differences.

I am particularly interested in the space between coping and truly feeling well — and in the small, sustainable changes that can help us move towards a life that feels more balanced and manageable.

For me, this isn’t about striving to become a different version of yourself.

It’s about creating enough space to listen to yourself, understand what you need and connect with who you are.
