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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
