About me

My practice
Dr Sophie Sunderland is a highly qualified counsellor and psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. She uses an integrative, evidence-based approach that supports clients to make genuine, lasting change. Sophie has a warm and engaging manner that is non-judgemental, compassionate and attentive to the individual needs of clients.
Sophie’s work is driven by her understanding that life challenges, conflicts, and grief present opportunities for healing and transformative growth. She has a strong interest in post-traumatic growth, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practice. She provides a safe place for clients to explore the impact of their past on their present, and to make intentional changes that bring greater resilience, meaning, and inner calm. This provides the foundation for more fulfilling relationships and personal wellbeing.
Sophie also holds a Doctor of Philosophy in social and cultural studies, with a focus on grief and psychoanalytic theory. Her social science background means she is skilled at supporting clients to identify the role social pressures play on self-expression, relationships, and a sense of belonging. She also draws from her career across corporate, government and higher education settings in social research and policy.
