About Sofia
My Personal Journey
My interest in becoming a counsellor came from my journey with grief, after the traumatic loss of a sibling, along with battling an eating disorder. I come to the counselling practice with full humanity and awareness that experiences can leave us feeling defeated and even hopeless at times. My heart is to cultivate a safe enough space and therapeutic relationship, where clients feel heard, valued, seen and supported through their unique needs. I am fascinated by human resiliency and hope to empower clients to find that within themselves.
I use a variety of personalized therapeutic approaches based on individual needs, to empower clients to lead meaningful and self-aware lives. The primary theoretical foundations of my work include being person-centred, anti-oppressive and collaborative, while placing an emphasis on emotion processing and nervous system regulation. My approach invites curiosity and evidence based findings, into the mind and body connection and the important role they play in our overall mental health.
Working with Couples
After walking through rocky waters in my own marriage, I was introduced to the Gottman Method in counselling. This approach completely transformed my marriage, by providing me and my partner with practical exercises and tools, based on years of research and evidence based findings. After becoming a counsellor, I was motivated to complete several Gottman trainings, so that I could empower, equip and walk alongside couples in a meaningful way.
Relationships can be challenging and we can reach points where we feel hopeless in restoring what has been lost or broken. Whether you are struggling with communication or grieving through the pain of a betrayal, couples counselling can offer a space to process and rebuild together. As a couples therapist, I am motivated to find the spark that drew couples together from the start, through developing deeper connections, empathy and understanding, within the relationship.
