I'm Dr Sophia Gazla, I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist.

What will therapy look like?

Therapy begins with space to talk, gently making sense of what you’re carrying, in the context of your past and the life you want to move towards. Together, we explore your experiences with curiosity and care.

Depending on your needs, I draw from a range of approaches. This may include psychodynamic work, helping us understand how early relationships have shaped your sense of self, as well as evidence-based, skills-based practices that support meaningful change. Our work is trauma-informed, paying close attention to your nervous system so you can feel more grounded, centred, and able to respond to life with greater capacity and flexibility.

I am also influenced by systemic and trans-generational perspectives, recognising how patterns can be carried across families and time. Alongside this, I integrate depth-oriented and psycho-spiritual approaches which honour the importance of soul, intuition, and the restoration of inner connection to support energy flow.

At the heart of this work is our relationship. I offer a warm, attuned, and reflective space where you can explore difficult experiences, process what has felt overwhelming, and gain insight into patterns that may no longer serve you. Together, we will deepen your connection to yourself and support you in moving towards a life that feels meaningful and aligned.

I work collaboratively and actively, welcoming your reflections and feedback. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a place for discovery, where new ways of relating, understanding, and being can begin to emerge.
