Sophie Pinney Counselling & Psychotherapy

I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking to improve their life through bettering their mental health! Sophie is a genuinely kind person who listens without judgement & helps you navigate through any issues/ thoughts you may have at your own pace & in a really relaxed environment. Therapy has helped to transform & improve all areas of my life so if you’re thinking about starting, please just go for it! It will be the best investment into your future you could ever make.

Sophie changed my life for the better. She was my first therapist and I found it very daunting to go to her and deal with my trauma. But from the initial email I felt safe with her, and that feeling never changed. She is by far, one of the most capable and relatable therapists out there. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs help, it will be one of the best decisions you make.

Sophie continues to support me as my supervisor. Her knowledge, vast experience & calm manner has helped me to grow as a counsellor in training. Knowing that Sophie is there should I need her outside of sessions is so reassuring and I could not wish for a better supervisor.

I give Sophie 5 stars. I was made to feel very comfortable and confident discussing subjects in a very calm atmosphere. The more information and detail you can share the more Sophie can help you on the journey. You are the centre of the session and Sophie really does build the session and meetings around you. Sophie is very nice and calm , I found her very easy to talk to. I highly recommend Sophie.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!My fiancé found Sophie on google after I had a bad experience with the NHS counselling service and was ready to give up trying to sort out my mental health. Before I started receiving counselling Sophie and I exchanged emails and messages to ensure that she felt she could help me and she was very honest from the start that she’s not a miracle worker (though after 4 or 5 sessions I’d disagree with her there) and even said that if there was anything I wanted/needed to talk about which she didn’t feel she could help with that she would recommend another counsellor. She also said from the start that the whole point of talking to her clients before receiving any counselling was to make sure that I felt comfortable talking to her. My sessions were during the covid pandemic so face to face was not an option, so we did over the phone counselling. Never once did I get the impression she wasn’t interested, every session she would recall things from the previous. Sophie gives amazing advice and is so easy to talk to.She’s not just a great counsellor but a genuinely lovely person as well.I hope this helps someone who’s debating whether or not to give counselling a go because I was in the fence for ages and only wish I’d found Sophie sooner!

I have been seeing Sophie for a good few months now. I completely trust her to help me through some really tough times in my life. She has helped me make sense of my feelings and emotions and has taught me how to cope with different situations to help me. Sophie has always made time for me when I needed a session last minute. I do not know how I would have made sense of the past few months if it weren't for Sophie helping me through and giving me guidance. Its ok not to be ok! I would 110% recommend Sophie to anyone.

I had Sophie as my supervisor during my training and she was amazingly helpful and really aided in my development :)

Sophie's really helped me to find clarity of thought during a hugely busy time in my life. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering counselling.

Sophie was my supervisor and helped me get over my 'imposter syndrome'. I found myself looking forward to our sessions and they went so quickly. She helped me with some personal things so that they didn't impact my professional life.

Sophie supported me as a supervisor through my counselling studies. Her input and support was invaluable. She helped me through all my difficulties that I encountered during my training and helped me in building my confidence as a therapist. I highly recommend her as the supervisor. It is definitely five stars from me :-)
