WORK WITH ME
"Right now you are one choice away from a new beginning - one that leads you toward becoming the fullest human being you can be"
Oprah Winfrey
​
The best coaching sessions I have experienced in my life are the ones where I was supported to see things from a different perspective, one that I wasn’t able to access alone. They are the ones where I was able to identify what was behind the thoughts and feelings, often several layers deep. They are the sessions where I had massive lightbulb moments about my thoughts, feelings, behaviours or actions. I have transformed my relationship with myself and with others. I have taken brave, bold steps forward into a life which feels so much more aligned, authentic, loving and fun!
​
I adore coaching – both being on the receiving end and offering it to my clients. One of my superpowers is being able to see potential in people and nurture them towards realising it and way more! I hold loving, safe spaces for people to explore aspects of themselves, to dare to be vulnerable and make courageous decisions about what their next steps are. I am passionate about helping people to connect with their power.  It’s so exciting to watch someone realise what is important, what motivates them and think about who they want to be.
HOW YOU CAN WORK WITH ME
E M D R
Trauma, in it’s simplest terms, is about unprocessed emotion. With any event or memory, big or small, if the emotions don’t have the chance to process fully (for whatever reason) then the memory can continue to bubble up in the form of flashbacks and nightmares (commonly experienced by those with PTSD), or, as I have experienced myself and with clients, in the form of low self-esteem, repeating patterns of behaviour or thought (usually less than positive) and/or mental health challenges.
​
​Eye Movement Desensitising and Reprocessing is regarded as one of the best and most evidence-based practices for the processing and healing of trauma, troubling memories or past experiences that continue to impact you in a negative way. Using bilateral stimulation (often eye movements or tapping) the brain starts to process the emotions associated with the memories and beliefs you have about yourself until the memory can be stored in the long-term memory bank, rather than continuing to come up and affect you on a regular basis. A new, positive belief can be installed at the end of the session, so that although you remember the past events, the way you feel about yourself in relation to them is very different. The practice can be done in person or online.
Why EMDR?
​
I came to EMDR quite late in my healing journey. By the time I experienced EMDR I had done years of therapy, coaching, somatic and energetic work.
I had shifted loads of stuff that was impacting me negatively, however there were some really deeply ingrained core beliefs or wounds that just wouldn’t budge. They kept bubbling up to the surface and impacting my health, relationships and most importantly, my sense of self. In just a few EMDR sessions I was supported to recognise what some of those core beliefs were, without having to trawl through deep and painful memories recounting and recalling traumatic events, and come away feeling like something significant had lifted.
I felt better about myself.
What’s more exciting is that as time went past I noticed that I wasn’t reacting to situations as I would have in the past – the familiar surge of anxiety I experienced in the past just wasn’t there – I was able to be far more present and able to deal with things calmly and rationally. EMDR has been game-changing for me. I love how the technique works, how quick the change can be and how empowering it is.
How I Work
My initial package consists of 10 sessions. Prior to doing any processing we work together to better understand your history and what you are hoping to shift. We also focus on building strong resources and grounding techniques, including breathwork, to use both during processing and at home. We create a treatment plan together, with flexibility built in. The sessions can be a blend of EMDR, Breathwork and coaching, depending on what feels most aligned for you. Each session is 60-90 minutes long and can be in-person at my home in SW London, or online. Sessions are to be used within a 6-month window.
The cost of the initial package is £1111 (payment plans available)
Beyond the initial package clients can book individual sessions as required, or a further block of sessions at a reduced rate.
“Sophie is a kind and gentle human with an incredible capacity to hold space for vulnerability and trauma. I felt comfortable sharing my life story with her, I felt safe, I felt seen and I felt heard. Using the techniques, I was able to release some stuck trauma from my body. I also learnt some useful tools, which I continue to use, particularly the reframing of certain statements/beliefs.  I would 100% recommend Sophie for EMDR. “
Deborah
“Sophie is a beautiful, wise coach. She immediately contained me within a safe, loving space through her skilful grounding exercise at the beginning of our session. Sophie’s confidence in herself rippled out in reassuring waves which, in turn, allowed me to lean further into trusting her and most importantly, trusting myself. I loved how powerfully Sophie saw me, she supported me to bust through my self-limiting stories to reach my truth. Thank you for believing in me Sophie”

“ I couldn’t recommend Beyond the Roadblocks enough! It was such an emotional journey of discovery and having the support, nurturing and guidance from Sophie was absolutely amazing”
Leslie Altic
“I was sceptical because I have never done anything like this, so am pleasantly surprised with my clearer vision, stronger focus and interaction with my inner voice.  We discussed different subjects and Sophie's challenges (spicy questions), relaxation and visualisation exercises, encouragement and holding me to account have all come together and I feel more confident and convicted about what is important to me and how I want to move forward, as well as being able to change direction if necessary.  Thanks Sophie x"
