Sofia created an environment where I felt comfortable to talk about any topic or issue. Sofia is a very encouraging and compassionate person. I got lots out of each session and I now feel I have a greater understanding of myself. I would highly recommend Sofias services to anyone. More...

A year ago, I was experiencing considerable stress and frustration, and was feeling really stuck in a difficult place. Working with Sofia led to identifying issues and setting healthy goals. Sofia was so skilled at helping me articulate what I was struggling with, and helped me to find a clear way forward. She is empathetic and non-judgmental, but doesn’t avoid real issues. After a few months of working with her, I found that I was actually living with much more clarity and purpose. And now I can see the ripple effect of many of the things that we worked on in a larger scale throughout my life. I absolutely recommend working with her to anyone who feels a bit stuck, and who needs some help finding a way to move forward. More...

Sofia has a firm and compassionate way of creating safety in the therapeutic relationship. I had a clear understanding of the neuroscience of Havening and possible outcomes of this form of practice.
Personally I recommend Sofia as a safe clinician and found that in our brief session it has become a catalyst of positive change.
Thank you Sofia

Sofia is a wonderful coach. I felt more like friends than anything. She's very understanding, and is never judgemental. I could be open and honest with her, knowing that she would support me through anything I was going through. She helped me figure out more about myself and situations I've been in, discovering things I didn't know were there. More...

Sofia helped me listen to what my inner self was really saying, and be willing to take the time to work through the things that were important to me. This was done with no judgement, but just positive coaching the whole way through. I was amazed at how easy it was to work through what felt like some really tough emotions, and to be challenged by questions that I didn't know or like the answer to. Bob Merritt says "(Personal core)values put banks on the river so that your life does not flood, causing irreparable damage. Determine your (personal core)values !" Sofia helped me to work through some things I didn't even realise were that much of a problem, which then freed up some head space to work on my values. This has brought me so much joy and peace to know the things I value and to plan my days with my values in mind, actually living out what I value. This is what I wanted all along, but had no idea really how to get. Within a short space of time, to be able to put what I had learnt into practise was a victory I had to share with Sofia. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome at the end of my coaching sessions, and would happily go back for more coaching. More...

What do you love most about your job?
It's such an incredible privilege to be part of peoples lives as they turn them around and move forward free of unhelpful aspects of their past. I love that I get to take the experiences that I have learned through many years and turn them into tools that can help people in far less time than it took me. Havening Techniques® is such a brilliant technique and being the third pillar in mental health is showing to be one of the most effective. It's fulfilling to work with people as they see and experience the changes they have been looking for.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Years of working for other companies finally led me to start my own business so I could focus on the areas where I can help people most without the extraneous work associated with a larger organisational structure. As I also work with cutting edge techniques, it gives me the freedom to offer my clients the most effective service catering for their specific needs.
