Welcome! I am Sofia, a fully qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist & Counsellor (MA) working with adults and children. I am a Register Member of the BACP and a BPC Scholar. I am also a BPS Accredited Psychologist. I am originally from Greece that lived also in Portugal for a while and I now live in the UK. Wherever I have lived, I have always experienced a profound commonality between people. The fact that none of us is immune to emotional pain. And that it is never easy to bear that pain alone. The traumatic experiences, the anxiety, the intense emotions or grief. Sharing the burden of these experiences can make a difference. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

The psychotherapeutic treatment I provide is grounded in a psychodynamic framework, with a particular focus on unconscious communication, as well as the dynamics of transference and countertransference that may arise within the therapeutic relationship.

I work mainly relationally as I believe that as social beings we are constantly shaped by our social contacts. My desire is the therapeutic relationship to be a model of a healthy attachement with the opportunity for a corrective emotional experience and unltimately a secure base from which my clients can explore the world.

I understand that seeking counselling can bring feelings of anxiety or fear—but it also carries hope. By building a genuine and consistent relationship rooted in curiosity and presence, we can work together to bridge past, present, and future. Through this connection, we can heal past wounds and create the foundation for healthier, fulfilling relationships.
