About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I am Sofia - I am an experienced counsellor and therapist, and I specialise in working with trauma.
I practice online and face to face in Sheffield, and I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma and PTSD, and those who are adjusting to big life changes.
Additionally, I provide EMDR therapy to help people process traumatic experiences such as accidents, assaults, or sudden loss.
Practice description
When life feels overwhelming, having the right support can make all the difference. If you’re struggling with anxiety, flashbacks, or nightmares after a traumatic event, or finding it hard to cope with grief and loss, I can help.
I work with adults processing experiences such as accidents, assaults, miscarriages, illness, or bereavement. I’m a Íø±¬ÃÅ-accredited integrative psychotherapist, trained in approaches including Attachment, Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, and EMDR. I draw on these to create a safe, flexible, and personalised space where you can process what’s happened.
I bring a warm and collaborative style to my work, and therapy with me is about understanding yourself and your experiences, and supporting you to make active changes to rebuild your resilience and your trust in yourself.
Most people I work with have between 8 and 12 appointments, with some needing more or less. Sessions are flexible and are offered weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your needs. I believe therapy should be a open, supportive process where you feel heard and understood and you can start working towards healing.
My first session
I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach — we all need different kinds of support at different times. You can expect me to show up with curiosity, respect, and a genuine intention to understand you and help you find your own way forward.
Initial consultation
When you schedule an initial consultation, you will be given a free 15 minute slot for a video call.
This is an opportunity to get to know each other and for you to get a feel for my approach.
You can ask me any questions you might have and we will be able to discuss how me might work together.
The first session
I offer face to face or online sessions, depending on which one you choose, I will send you details on how to meet.
The first session is an opportunity to lay down some ground rules for therapy, we will discuss the therapy contract and Confidentiality.
We will discuss what brought you to therapy and to talk about the challenges you are facing.
The Game Plan
After we have made a Game Plan, this is where we start digging deeper. We will define your goals and determine what needs to happen for you to overcome your challenges.
This process is about implementing sensible but practical changes that will have an impact on your day-to-day life and help you reach your goals.
