Hello
You may be wondering who I am, so let me tell you a bit about myself.
I’m Sophie Wilkinson BA (Hons) DFSH (HPD), BACP (Individual Member), MNCH (reg) AfSFH (reg) CNHC (reg), which basically means I’m a qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, and an accredited solution focussed psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and Coach. I’m also registered with the main Accreditation bodies for each of these modalities, and follow their code of ethics so you can be sure my training is kept up to date and I always put my clients at the heart of everything I do.
I run my business under the name of Sophie Clare, but when we meet you can just call me Sophie.
I’m passionate about mental health and what I like to call ‘mental fitness’. Helping people to understand themselves, feel good about themselves and build the confidence to make changes or follow their dreams, as well as learning strategies to navigate life’s challenges so they build mental fitness in the longer term too.
As an ex Marketing Director with 20+ years working in global companies, I know what it’s like to struggle with overwhelm and chronic stress to the point of panic attacks and burnout, and also know what this does to confidence, self-worth and the relationships around you. It’s a tough road to come back from, and I wish I had been taught earlier how to identify and prioritise my needs, speak up for what I needed, and create a positive and supporting internal dialog too.
As a result, I now love to help people navigate their way through life's challenges and be the person in their corner who accepts them just as they are. With a wealth of knowledge and a passion for continuous learning, I am also able to offer tips, tools, workbooks or creative exercises to help my clients both inside and outside our sessions. I believe in psychoeducation along side therapy and coaching, and giving people knowledge and understanding helps them develop acceptance, compassion, confidence and motivation to make the changes they desire too.
If you think we'd be a good fit, please feel free to email me at sophie@sophieclarewellbeing.co.uk or book at 15 minute intro call using the link below.
