Counselling

Sometimes we are confronted with an experience or state of being like anxiety, depression, addiction, people pleasing, or feeling lost or disconnected. Through the gentle yet powerful process of holistic counselling, Sophia can help to unravel and let go of layers of emotion that lie suppressed or beneath our conscious surface causing these challenging and difficult states of being.  This process of release can be difficult at times but is an important part of the healing process and with careful guidance has the potential to begin to bring relief to the many symptoms we may be feeling.

​

Sophia’s counselling intuitively guides the healing process to help find the root cause and to bring this aspect or aspects of ourselves back to their true and authentic state.  Finding and healing the cause helps us to then develop the self-awareness needed to truly heal and change our patterns of behaviour, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.  It is this conscious awareness that gives us choice and freedom – the choice and freedom over old automatic behaviours, emotions, and reactions that can be harmful to the health of our mind, body, and spirit.  This conscious awareness also helps to recognise and release the blocks that can hold us back to living a life of more abundance, clarity, harmony, and compassion.

​

The counselling process recognises that we are all unique with a unique set of experiences, life circumstances, make up and even how we endure suffering.  One on one counselling with Sophia therefore provides the opportunity to allow the healing to be individual, helping to remove any pressure or expectations, and to provide a supportive and safe space to heal.  Importantly, this individual pathway allows the healing to come from within ourselves, creating true and lasting change.

Learning gives us knowledge

​

Discovery gives us understanding

​

Counselling with Sophia is a process of guided discovery.  The knowledge we collect through books, other people and various sources plays an important role in helping us to reveal what we may need to heal and even give us direction and courage to begin.  However, it is the deep understanding that we need of ourselves and the world we live in to not only truly heal but to live a life of choice, freedom, and balance.  The process of self-discovery helps us to uncover what lays hidden beneath the surface within the subconscious mind.  By moving through this process we are able to identify where thoughts, patterns and beliefs come from and to then practice recognising where and how they have played out in our lives.  It is from here that we have the power and true knowledge to then step into a new version of ourselves that no longer lets the outside world control us.

Sophia uses a combination of healing techniques that incorporate deep listening, personalised guided healing meditation, dream work and various other tools to help you work through the process that is required to heal the different aspects of self. These healing techniques have been developed from her own experience through an in-depth process of working alongside a wonderful and highly experienced mentor who led Sophia through her own self-discovery pathway.
