Sophie Sinclair-Brown

Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy. My experience as a psychotherapist has been varied, working with spousal and parental bereavement, relationship issues, and navigating through difficult life events. I have also worked with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, people with addictions, and with general and complex mental health issues – such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.

I offer person-centred therapy – a humanistic approach that focuses on creating a warm, accepting, and authentic relationship between client and counsellor. As your therapist, I will hold space when you need to process difficult emotions, and facilitate your personal exploration of whatever you choose to bring to our sessions. It’s my role to understand your experience from your perspective and why you are feeling the way that you do.

PCT aims to empower the client to be an active agent in their healing and growth. As such, our sessions will be led by what you want to explore and work on. I do not set an agenda, nor do I impose a direction on our sessions. This may be very different to other kinds of therapy you’ve done before, or to the picture of therapy you have in your mind – and that total freedom may feel overwhelming at first. It is completely ok to not know where to start, or to arrive at a session feeling like you have nothing to say – often that can prompt exploration in itself! The strength of non-directive therapy is in its empowerment of the client, and its respect for your agency and dignity. Our sessions are your safe space to say what you want, feel what you want – without judgement or censure. Person-centred therapy helps clients heal and grow into their fullest potential. It is my privilege to be with you on that journey.
