About
Sophie
I live in the hills near Mullumbimby and enjoy spending time in nature with my sheep. I feel grateful to do work I care deeply about.
I offer a calm, thoughtful space where people can explore their thoughts, feelings, and life experiences at their own pace.
I work with adults and young people who are navigating life’s challenges, seeking understanding, or simply needing a space to talk.
I hold a Master of Counselling, a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, and a Bachelor’s degree in Education.
My approach is humanistic and informed by family systems and psychodynamic thinking, with a focus on understanding ourselves within the wider patterns of our lives and relationships.
My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive.
I believe counselling works best when it feels safe, respectful, and genuinely human.

I would like to acknowledge the Bundjalung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which I live and work. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise their ongoing connection to land, sea and community.
