How To start working with Sophie?

How do I start?

Come for a once off taster session, no obligation to continue. One therapy session (paid) or an explorative phone conversation (free).

Explorative phone call:

This is a 20-minute phone call that I offer to potential clients for free. Please email to arrange this phone call. 

Taster Session :

One stand alone session. The taster session is the best way to decide if you feel you can trust me, wish to work together. You only have to commit to a one off payment of one session. We can discuss your needs from therapy, you get a feel of my style of working etc. Please email to arrange.

Is it confidential?

Absolutely. Counsellors know the value of confidentiality because, unlike some professions, they have all had to go through the process that they are offering themselves before, and as part of, their training. 

How often should I come?

Not less than weekly to start with, anything less tends to turn into a chat. If you need more frequency, for example to come twice a week for a while that is totally fine, and a fee adjustment can be made to facilitate this.

When can I come?

Wimbledon & Central London : Monday & Friday.

Guildford : Tuesday – Thursday

On-line : Tuesday – Thursday

Appointments are available in the daytime or evening, evening sessions are at a premium. Ideally, you will commit to the same time, on the same day, on a weekly basis especially in the first few months.

Breaks & Holidays in therapy:

I firmly believe in the importance of consistent and dedicated therapy. I recommend weekly sessions with as few breaks as possible, as this builds trust, and gives an experience of regular support that has most often been lacking up till this point.

I usually take two weeks break at Christmas and Easter, and in the summer a month off around August .

I’m a registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP) as a member I work within their ethical framework.
