Sophie Atkinson Psychodynamic Counsellor

Therapy offers an opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings which might have become difficult to manage or understand. This might be due to an experience we have had or a change in our situation or circumstances or for no obvious or apparent reason. Sometimes we feel like things stopped making sense or we are struggle with a situation, relationships or our emotions. We might  have some sense or understanding as to why we are experiencing these  thoughts but still require help to order them.

Therapy provides an opportunity to explore oneself with a professional who does not judge or make suggestions or offer advise but facilitates thinking about oneself. 

I have a Bsc (Hons) in Psychology and a diploma in Psychodynamic Therapy. I recently finished a Certificate in Post Cult Counselling. I am a member of the BACP and work within their ethical framework as well as working towards their professional accreditation. I am registered with the ICO and adhere to GDPR guidelines for all of my client and supervision notes, paperwork and correspondence. 

I have extensive experience of working with grief, loss, life changes, bereavement and trauma. I have also worked extensively with clients who have experienced psychosexual issues, IVF and pregnanacy and coercive relationships.
