With a deep understanding of trauma and its effects, Sophie offers empathetic, evidence based
approaches tailored to each individuals unique journey. Clients appreciate her non-judgmental
presence and the skillful ways of creating a space for difficult emotions and experiences,
fostering resilience, self-empowerment and discovery. She approaches her counselling approach
through a decolonized, trauma informed lens and strives to meet each client based on their
individual goals and needs.
