22 year old female shop assistant

"I want to thank you for helping me so much, my sessions with Sofia literally has changed my life. I was ready for change and worked hard through it but without Sofia’s kind, warm and empathetic encouragement I wouldn’t have felt as empowered to change the way I have. I worked through some really painful and difficult memories and dealt with my past in a way that will enable me to have a healthy future as there were unresolved things really holding me back. Sofia was friendly, approachable and I felt immediately comfortable with her. Even though I didn’t have actual face to face sessions as we did them via Zoom, I was able to get meaningful, constructive and thought-provoking support from her. She helped me think clearer and unmuddy my confusion over feelings I had to help me let go of what was holding me back and I felt understood the whole way through. I can’t thank her enough and words aren’t enough to do her justice of what an amazing counsellor and person she is. I have had counselling in the past but have never “vibed” better with a counsellor as I have with Sofia so thank you very much. "
