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.

This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through stressful and pressurised times... Stress and anxiety can manifest in many ways - whether it’s racing thoughts that keep you up at night, a pounding heart, or an unsettled stomach. These feelings are your body’s way of signaling that it’s sensing danger, even if the threat isn’t immediate. But when stress doesn’t switch off, it can feel like a pressure cooker building up inside. If left unchecked, this can lead to physical symptoms like tension headaches, digestive issues, or changes in your menstrual cycle. That’s where acupuncture can help. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, stress and anxiety disrupt the balance of Qi (energy) in the body and scatter the “Shen,” or spirit. Acupuncture helps to restore this balance, calming the mind and reconnecting the body. From a Western perspective, acupuncture regulates the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones while stimulating the production of serotonin and dopamine—the same ‘happy’ chemicals targeted by anti-anxiety medications. This makes acupuncture a truly complementary way to help you manage stress and anxiety over the long term. At the Acupuncture Collective, Sophie and Dr. Sunila offer treatments designed to bring your body and mind back into harmony. Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or simply need a way to let off steam, acupuncture could be the vent you’ve been looking for. Needles in, stress out. Join Sophie and Dr. Sunila at the next Acupuncture Collective and take the first step toward finding your calm. Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Wednesday 18th February. Find out more and book via our bio.
