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.

Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂 – with the night and day at equal length, before we set off back into the darkness, look inwards, and slow down (although that’s a lot easier said than done). A time to contemplate and consider what we are thankful for in our lives. So gather a little closer, as a slight chill comes into the evening air (although seemingly not in this corner of London), join with family and friends over the next couple of weeks to celebrate the abundance of the harvest. Happy Autumn Equinox to you all. This beautiful image is called Coming of Autumn, from the skilful hand of @tijanadraws #autumnequinox #wheeloftheyear1 day ago

September always arrives with a to-do list! New term, new diary, new resolve. It's a lot to ask of our mind and body. September might also be the month when things start to surface... Sleep gets patchy. Temperature control goes awry. Moods that felt manageable in August develop a sharper edge. This is a nervous system being asked to sprint in a season that's quietly telling it to slow down. In Chinese medicine, September is a turning point: the moment we stop 'spending' and start 'storing'. The energy that's been running out of us all summer needs consolidating, and the Shen (the part of us that governs sleep, mood and steadiness) needs somewhere quiet to settle - and that's where acupuncture can help. Look after your Shen now, and winter can become an entirely different experience. That's the magic of the Collective. You'll be in the room alongside other women, held in the same nurturing space, while what happens on the treatment bed is entirely yours: your cycle, your sleep, your capacity, your September. Come and unwind with Sophie and Dr Sunila, and let the season do what it's meant to do. Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 21st September ⭐This Monday's Acupuncture Collective is WAITING LIST ONLY - so we've opened up October's appointments early so you can grab your place - follow the link in our bio. ⭐5 days ago
