Sofia Villalobos

Have you been struggling with depression and anxiety? Do you feel your life has become stuck in repeating behaviours that are affecting your life? Have you been struggling with your relationships? Perhaps you would like to explore your thoughts and feelings in a warm and secure environment.

Starting counselling or psychotherapy is a big step and finding a therapist who feels right for you is important.

Counselling is about finding a safe and containing space to explore together whatever is concerning you. It is a chance to work collaboratively to make sense of painful or difficult feelings, and from there to make a change.

I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist offering short-term and open-ended therapy (ongoing). I work using a psychodynamic approach, which means we will explore links between your past and present bringing a deeper understanding of some of the roots of your difficulties not just the symptoms.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help you to make lasting changes to your relationships and emotional well-being. It brings awareness and understanding to the issues you are struggling with, to understand why you feel the way you do, or why relationships have taken a particular form.

With greater self-awareness comes more satisfying ways of being and relating. It can also help with sudden challenges in life such as loss and bereavement. 

I run a private practice in the heart of Islington (5 minutes walk from Angel Station) and online, and I can provide a warm and compassionate approach to exploring the issues you are finding challenging.

Training, qualifications, and experience:

BA (Hons) Psychology.

MSc Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Trained as a psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist at Birkbeck, University of London.

Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

Experience working in the NHS, private practice, and charitable sector. 

Send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible to arrange a 10-minute phone consultation.

This could be followed by a 50-minute initial meeting where we will decide whether psychodynamic psychotherapy is appropriate for you, and if we feel we might work well together. The rate of this is the same as the rate of a session. 

If we decide to continue, we will have weekly meetings of 50 minutes each at the same arranged time and day of the week. 

The sessions are offered in person or online. 

Currently taking on new clients.
