Sophie Wellings

I work both online and face to face. I have limited availability currently but this will be changing in the New Year. I offer both daytime and evening slots. 

I am an integrative counsellor which means that I draw from a wide range of theories in my approach to the therapeutic relationship. My starting point is you and your needs. We will explore what has brought you to therapy and what you are hoping will be different at the end. Counselling can be challenging for people and I am very aware of that. We will go at your pace with my role being to facilitate your process. I work from a place of supporting you to explore and unravel the things that are holding you back, making you anxious, keeping you stuck or simply making you unhappy. 

My practice is built around your needs and what you are hoping to gain. I work from a belief that the wounds of childhood can hinder our development and will seek to explore this gently with you. I will work collaboratively with you to navigate the aspects of self that can feel challenging and exposing to share. I work with compassion and without judgement or an agenda. The space is yours. 

The first session is about exploring what you want from therapy and whether we feel we can work well together. You need to feel comfortable in the space, which can take a while but this session can give us both some insight as to how the sessions would work and whether I can offer what you need. I charge £30 for the first session which I usually offer online.
