About me

*About Sophie, GMBPsS*

I’m Sophie, an accredited and fully insured Transformative Life & Mindset Coach with a degree in Psychology. I am a registered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC UK), where I earned my EIA Global Senior Practitioner credentials.

With my background in both Psychology and Coaching, I have the expertise and commitment to guide you through a wide range of challenges on your personal journey of discovery, change, and transformation. Feel empowered, gain clarity, and lay the foundations for positive change. It’s time to take control of your narrative moving forward.

Feeling empowered by the profound impact coaching had on my life, I developed a passion for personal growth and learning - an adventure I continue to this day. I’ve been in your shoes. While we may walk different paths, I understand the journey of vulnerability and the courage it takes to take that first step. The gift of a safe and quiet space to talk openly about your feelings, empowering you to write your future, is truly life-changing.

Fast forward, and I am a qualified credentialed Transformative Life & Mindset Coach, dedicated to supporting you in finding your own answers to change your life for the better. Coaching is an empowering journey, and I would love to walk alongside you on yours.

*My scope of work*

Hands up if you can relate:
Every day feels like a struggle due to low self-worth, anxiety, or lack of confidence?
You have experienced trauma and now feel ready to navigate your path moving forwards?
You feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to shape your life?
You struggle to set boundaries or find communication and relationships challenging?
You're finding parenthood tougher than expected or struggling to discover your new identity?
You're unhappy at work and craving change, but unsure or afraid to take the first step?

You're not alone! Life presents many challenges, and navigating them can be tough. But I believe you have the power to change. If you're willing to embrace vulnerability and dig deep, you can uncover the obstacles keeping you stuck, challenge your beliefs, and start paving the way for meaningful change. You have the ability to write your own narrative, become the person you aspire to be, and create the fulfilling life you desire.

*How coaching can help*

Whatever challenge you're facing, mindset is often at the core. Automatic negative thoughts and your “inner critic” can act as barriers that hold you back from moving forward in a way that truly serves you. Your performance, confidence, resilience, emotional responses, and how you see the world are all shaped by the thoughts and beliefs you hold. These thoughts directly influence your behaviour, which means learning to manage them is key to creating lasting change. This shift can be the difference between feeling stuck and truly thriving.

Transformative coaching is a future-focused conversation that digs beneath the surface to explore your thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions that guide your behaviour. In a safe, confidential, and client-led space, we'll partner to cultivate a growth mindset, expand your thinking, and prompt new insights. Together, we'll challenge your limiting beliefs, reframe perspectives, and shape your behaviour for meaningful change.

You are in the driver’s seat of your journey. We’ll work together in a structured way, steadily moving you closer to your goals at a pace that feels right for you. By drawing on psychological frameworks and coaching tools, I’ll empower you to take control of your journey, build your confidence to explore your thoughts, and tackle challenges head-on - laying the foundations for a life of growth.

*Free Discovery Call*

I offer a free, 30-minute, no-obligation discovery call where we can get to know each other and see if coaching is the right fit for you. In a safe and confidential space, you’ll have the opportunity to share what you’d like to explore, along with any challenges, goals, or outcomes you wish to achieve. This is also your chance to learn more about me, the support I can provide, and the space I create within our coaching sessions. Feel free to ask any questions you have along the way.

I’m fully committed to your success and ready to guide you on your journey of transformative change. I look forward to meeting you!
