Sessions Offered:

I am a UKCP-registered group and individual psychodrama psychotherapist with extensive experience in hospital and rehabilitation settings as well as in private practice in London.

My work at Moon focuses on helping women navigate the roles visited upon them by bodily, hormonal and psychological change, exploring ways in which to transform obstacles into empowerment and frustration into curiosity. Presentations include:

  • Premenstrual Syndrome
  • Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
  • Miscarriage
  • IVF journey
  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding challenges
  • Perinatal and/or postnatal depression and/or psychotic symptoms
  • Perimenopause.

An initial consultation, whilst tailored to your unique needs, will generally include creating a visual of your challenge(s) either using art, colours or small objects. Psychodrama is all about identifying the roles we embody in any one moment (e.g. practitioner, client, mother, woman, partner, worker, eater, feeder...), understanding their nuances and what is needed for some roles to be developed, supported, diminished or evolved in order for meaningful change to happen, whether that is in response to your body and mind or to others you feel impact your life and health. You may wish to simply identify these in a single session or to go forward with a time-limited or open-ended course of psychodrama psychotherapy for us to navigate the journey together.

I trained between 2015 and 2023 at the London Centre for Group and Individual Psychotherapy and have worked in both NHS and private hospital and rehabilitation settings with both groups and individuals as well as in private practice since 2018.

I am currently developing a strand of psychodrama work specifically for couple role work, and have a particular interest in the potential of psychodrama to help women strengthen their relationships with their evolving bodies and the resulting impact on mind, self-image and self-perception.

Spring is well and truly here. Do you feel the quickening of pace? Nature is bursting forth all around us and quite frankly the world feels a bit bonkers doesn’t it. We need our brains to be able to take refuge within our bodies and rest a while, even during the busiest time of year. This is where acupuncture can be really helpful. Most people think acupuncture is a physical treatment. However, most converts will tell you it’s the feeling of calm and zen followed by deep sleep that is one of the most enjoyable aspects.  I’ve got a new Garmin and am interested in how my body recovers from exercise. I was overjoyed to see it has acupuncture listed alongside yoga, breathwork and massage as one of the most calming and restorative things you can do. There is science! The Acupuncture Collective is the perfect space to come and take an hour away from the buzz of life and tell Dr. Sunila and myself what’s going on with your brain and body and see if they can get everything working in more blissful coherence. Sophie x Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 11th May Find out more and book via our bio.
