Sophie Skipp

My working day is Friday 9-5pm. I do appreciate however that you may need some flexibility around these hours and I am happy to discuss this with you.

Hi,

My name is Sophie and I am a qualified Person centred counsellor/ psychotherapist.

First of all, thank you for taking a look at my listing. I appreciate that this can be a strange start of a journey into the unknown. But doing your research on the right person for you is definitively worth while.

I have worked in the field for 4 years now with young people (16 yrs) to older adults. I  also have experience with neurodiverse clients, in particular Autism and ADD/ADHD.

My main area of work so far has been in bereavement (and ongoing). This has given me a good experience of working with loss, stress, identity, anxiety, depression, trauma and how neurodiversity can effect each of these.

I am also a wellbeing therapist, so can include techniques such as mindfulness in our sessions if you feel this would benefit you.

In person centred therapy the relationship we create together serves as a support in what life is presenting you with right now. I can offer a safe, non judgemental space for you to talk freely and comfortably.

The way I practise aims to foster you in your entirety. The physical, and emotional, body and mind. Personally I feel that the most affective healing and exploring is done when our bodies and minds are attuned. Physical health affects mental health and vice versa!

For this reason I offer outdoor walk & talk sessions as sometimes nature benefits people in a way that a room or an online platform cannot. It all depends on the person you are....

Our first session will include going through our contract together and a short assessment to outline areas you already know you would like to explore. The assessment will also enquire about physical & mental health/ neurodiversity.
