Sofia Likhacheva

I work primarily from a psychoanalytic perspective with an attachment-based focus, providing my clients a space to explore how their past might be influencing their life at present, as well as the ways they relate and connect to others. In the therapeutic process I help clients to gain insight into their state of mind by bringing the unconscious to a conscious level. Alongside these processes, I pay dedicated attention to the quality of the relationship between myself and the clients. This combination is a powerful vehicle for facilitating a meaningful change in the clients’ lives.

My extensive experience involves working therapeutically with adults, adolescents and children in NHS, charities and private settings. I specialise in relational difficulties, which can be closely linked to other psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and eating disorders.

At the core of my work is a belief that every person has a potential to grow emotionally, once they are provided with a safe place for self-exploration where they can learn how to better cope with the environmental failures.
