PROFILE

Sofia is a humanistic counsellor and ICF Coach drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic and CBT approaches.  Whether you are navigating mental health challenges, managing ADHD or facing life transitions, Sofia is deeply passionate about helping people overcome hurdles, unlock their potential and thrive.

Sofia is passionate about advocating for those struggling with their mental health and has made this her life’s work. What makes Sofia’s ADHD therapy so impactful is her ability to connect deeply with her clients. She not only understands the difficulties of ADHD from a professional standpoint but also from a personal perspective as she awaits her own diagnosis. 

Having faced academic struggles, criticism and self-doubt growing up, she knows first hand the frustration of feeling ‘different’ in a world built for neurotypical minds. Instead of letting those experiences define her, Sofia used them as fuel to understand how her mind works and to find ways to succeed despite the challenges she faced. It was from these early obstacles that Sofia’s journey into coaching and counselling began, shaping her empathetic, practical and insight-driven approach to supporting others.

Sofia’s background in counselling informs her coaching in a powerful and distinctive way. From a psychodynamic perspective, she supports clients in looking beneath the surface to uncover the roots of recurring thoughts, behaviours and emotional patterns. By understanding where these patterns come from, clients can begin to make sense of their experiences and create lasting change rather than repeating unhelpful cycles.

From CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), she introduces practical, evidence-based techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, reduce self-critical inner dialogue and build healthier, more constructive habits. These tools provide clients with clear, step-by-step strategies they can apply in everyday life. 

From a humanistic approach, Sofia brings empathy, authenticity, and a focus on the individual’s inherent capacity for growth. She offers a time where clients feel heard, accepted and empowered to connect with their true selves.

It is this integration of depth, practicality and compassion that makes Sofia’s coaching so popular. Clients are encouraged not only to understand themselves more fully, but also to take meaningful action. With insight from the psychodynamic lens, structure from CBT, and encouragement through humanistic practice, Sofia helps clients transform self-awareness into concrete strategies that support real, sustainable change.

Sofia also works from a strengths-based perspective, helping clients recognise their natural abilities and build strategies that fit their unique needs. She encourages exploration, experimentation and self-awareness, empowering clients to move from merely coping with challenges to thriving in everyday life with confidence, clarity, and resilience.

Sofia has experience supporting a diverse range of clients; from students preparing for exams to professionals navigating career changes, parents balancing work and family life and those managing ADHD and mental health challenges. 

In every session, Sofia provides a compassionate, tailored approach, helping clients build practical systems, regain focus and create a renewed sense of possibility for their future.

With Sofia, you will find not only strategies that work for you, but also a supportive, empathetic guide who understands both the struggles and the potential for growth.

Whether you are seeking clarity, confidence or balance, Sofia empowers you to discover your strengths and create a life that aligns with your goals.
