Sophierantzau Avis 

Sophie has been brilliant to work with, very easy to talk to, compassionate and a great listener. My work with Sophie has helped me get back in touch with who I am, and reconnect with what is really important in my life. I am truly thankful to have had Sophie by my side whilst working through some challenging issues. I now have a renewed sense of clarity and am looking forward to my future. Thank you Sophie.

I have been seeing Sophie for over a year after hitting a low point in my life. Sophie has helped me back to a good place and I still see her now while my life continues to be challenging, I really can’t thank her enough.

I have been seeing Sophie on a regular basis for the last year and a half. During this time I was dealing with a relationship breakdown. When I went to Sophie my head was full of “fog” I couldn’t see the wood for the trees. I had so many questions that I needed to answer in order to make things ok for me move forward with my decision to end my marriage. Sophie gave me clarity at a time of total confusion, she helped me work through lots of issues and very importantly taught me to “honour” myself. Quite honestly I really don’t know how I would have got through it without your support Sophie – Thank you, you are a star! X

Sophie has helped me through some very challenging times.
I have found clarity with situations that felt impossible at times and with her support I have found a way through on my journey.

I am very grateful for the time and effort Sophie put into working with me. She helped me change my outlook on life and really retuned my thought processes. Sophie, you have really made a difference to me in the emotional times I experienced after having both of my children, I will continue with the tools you have given me long term. I would recommend Sophie to anyone and everyone! Thank you Sophie.

I have been seeing Sophie for about 3 years now. Sophie has helped me deal with a variety of issues including marriage break down , upsets with children and building new relationships. She is calm, caring, and understanding. Non judgemental and lets you lead the way in which you want to go. Sophie has helped me massively and I now have my life back on track and moving forward in a positive way. I couldn't thank Sophie enough for all she has done to help.

Thank you, Sophie, for listening without fear of judgement. You helped change an angry mum and teenage relationship into a positive fun relationship. I didn’t think it possible only a few months ago. Sophie helped my daughter deal with relentless bullies and helped both of us with the stresses our relationship. I wish I hadn’t left it so long and wouldn’t hesitate in asking for Sophie’s help in future.

Sophie’s friendly, smiley and professional manor made me feel instantly at ease and able to open up about my overwhelming anxiety. She made it really clear that the counselling room is a safe place to talk about anything without feelings of guilt and judgement. After every session I felt a huge relief. I felt really positive knowing that I had the tools Sophie had given me to deal with my anxiety. Sophie has also enabled me to really get to know myself. I am so much happier and am enjoying the things I love. I am so grateful to Sophie and would highly recommend anyone thinking about counselling to go for it!

Sophie helped me a lot; with stuff that I was Afraid to talk about and solve, however through her listening and empathising I was help to understand and manage these worries a lot better which in turn has made me a better person and now I am seeing the direct results thank you for everything Sophie

My previous experience with a counsellor wasn’t a pleasant one and put me off ever seeking counselling again, but circumstances led me to do just that and I found Sophie. Unbeknown to me at the time, this was going to be the best thing that ever happened to me!
From the very beginning Sophie was warm, understanding, reassuring and I felt totally at ease and safe with her.
We have done a lot of work together and although it has been hard work and painful at times, I am where I am today because of Sophie. Her support and life changing tools that she has given me means my life is so positively different now in ways I couldn’t ever imagine and I will be forever grateful to her.
I really can’t recommend Sophie enough. I feel anyone would benefit from seeing her.
However big or small your concerns are, she’ll really hear you and be right by your side. You’ll be in the best and safest hands possible. You just need to take that initial brave step.

I was advised to meet with three counsellor’s before selecting someone to work with. When I met Sophie I felt instantly at ease and able to talk to her and so my selection was an easy decision. I had decided to try counselling as I have suffered from sleep problems for many years. However, it became evident when talking to Sophie that the cause of my sleep problems were the result of many other areas of my life causing anxieties. One by one Sophie and I worked through each of these areas of my life (work, relationships etc) and slowly but steadily my confidence, self-esteem and sleeping has improved. Over time I went from weekly counselling sessions to fortnightly then monthly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend counselling to everyone, and I would certainly recommend Sophie as a great counsellor.

Working with Sophie allowed me to be able to confide and discuss my problems in an environment which was removed from the everyday pressures affecting my life. Sophie gave me the confidence, tools and strength to manage my problems and allow me to enjoy my family and work again, her help has been invaluable. Thank you for all of your help over the last few months, you have been amazing and I would not be where I am today without your support.

I first saw Sophie about six months ago as I was suffering from a number of issues including anxiety, poor health, sleeplessness and an overall feeling of having “lost my way”. I suspected some physical symptoms had a root in some of my emotional state and I knew there were many issues I had not dealt with over a lifetime.

I found Sophie to be a welcoming and calming person who put me at my ease immediately. She started by asking about me and my life and what made me enjoy life and what were any hindrances to a sense of well-being.

Over the time I have known Sophie I have been gently encouraged and have been enabled to understand and deal with many issues that had been at the root of my anxieties. She is a superbly gifted listener who carefully weighs up what the client says and then offers balanced suggestions of possible ways forward to help unlock issues. It is true to say that her suggestions have ranged from the powerful to the downright life changing.

She has given me the understanding and then offered me some of the tools to help myself, for things which at the time I was unable to see for myself.
I owe Sophie a great debt of gratitude for her care and professionalism. I would go as far as saying she has given me back a better physical health and has enabled me to enjoy life again. Many, many thanks.
