More about Sophie

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • APS, AHPRA

As a registered clinical psychologist since 2002 I've had the privilege of working with people with a broad range of mental health concerns in varied countries and settings. I trained in Adelaide, gaining a Masters in Psychology (Clinical). Currently I work with people managing depression, pre and post natal anxiety and depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, obsessive compulsive disorder & eating disorders. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy as appropriate. I have four engaging children and since training in Adelaide, have lived and worked in Adelaide, Sydney, London, Hong Kong and Singapore. I have worked in public mental health settings and in private practice. This has included working across the age ranges and has enabled me to put the individual and their specific needs at the centre of our tailored plan to help them feel better. It is a privilege to help a client understand their mental state and build a plan to improve their wellbeing.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
