Sophie Pinney Counselling

When I first met Sophie back in November 2018, I was someone who struggled with many woeful possessions such as experiencing frequent bouts of sadness, emptiness, worthlessness, guilt, and the rare thought of death. While I was battling these demons during the day, prevalent nightmares would occur as well. These horrific and torturous dreams would cause me to involuntarily wake up with potent anxiety, distress and perplexion that disturbed my sleep and overall ability to function adequately throughout the day.However, as we speak now, on the 21st of February 2019, I feel like a different person. I know that sounds very cliche and not very hip but this new me, this feeling of internal happiness and calmness permits me to have greater control of my life; something that was indigestible last year due to the unhealthy manifestations that were propagating over the desired equilibrium that we all seek. But with Sophie’s outstanding work (she is AMAZING!!!), I have a (new) life now where I can chase my dreams and achieve my goals with confidence that oozes through my veins since therapy has acquired me with the appropriate tools to face challenges in my life. These tools can be seen regarding my improved ability when partaking in social interactions (I have difficulty in this area since I am Autistic) or the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that was introduced to allow me to comprehend how specific events in my life were out of my control, that I was not to blame, berate and belittle myself over those dark times. Instead, Sophie, through CBT presented me with different angles of how I should view these events. This really helped me to take a step back and analyse the puzzle that was in front of me; to connect pieces of the jigsaw that were scattered in my brain and make sense of everything. To understand my life.Moreover, when I first met Sophie, I deferred University for a year since I wanted to focus on my mental health. Now, this is no longer required. After ten excellent sessions (each session involved me moving mountains and discovering parts of Connor that I did not know even existed), my plans have altered for the good and I am going to University this year!!!If you have reached this far and considering therapy, then I would highly advise you to pay a visit to Sophie: she has been revolutionary for me and without her unprecedented support, I simply do not know where I would be.To conclude this, I would like to thank you, Sophie, for your incredible work. You have literally changed my life and I will always be in your debt. Thank you again!!! More...

I was apprehensive at first when seeing Sophie. Talking to a stranger about my worries and feelings was daunting to say the least. Sophie really did put me at ease straight away. Very professional and friendly, I found my sessions to be an extremely positive experience. I was completely happy that our sessions were confidential which is a must in these types of situations. A very skilful councillor with a friendly, helpful approach. I would highly recommend. Thank you Sophie for all your help. More...
