Counselling with Sophie is currently an online counselling service available to anyone who wants to connect in an online format. Sophie is passionate about journeying with people through their tough times. Sophie is an encourager at heart and she likes to create a gentle space for people to come and be heard. Sophie's approach is firstly to listen to the client's story. Then, she will discuss client goals and identify how they can work together to achieve them. Sophie works with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges and life change. Sophie also has extensive experience working with children and teenagers and in this online format will work with young people aged 12 and over. 12-18 year olds can face enormous challenges as they navigate through their teenage years. Sophie can work with a range of issues in this age bracket including depression, anxiety, social difficulties, relationship challenges, family break-ups, school avoidance, behaviour problems and trauma. Sophie offers a FREE 15 minute introductory phone call so that you can get to know each other, discuss the presenting issues and find out if you will be a good fit together as counsellor and client. Then, if you are comfortable proceeding with counselling, you can book your first session in online through Sophie's website. Just select a day and time that suits you, provide payment details and book it in. It's as easy as that. Sophie will send you a confirmation email with all the details and then you can look forward to connecting with her online when your appointment day arrives. Current wait times for counselling are minimal and you do not need a referral to book in. If you have been thinking about seeking counselling but haven't quite gotten around to taking that first step, why don't you begin with the FREE, no obligation, 15 minute phone call to see if it will work for you.
