A Professional Approach

About Me
My name is Sophie Bates O’Reilly, and I am a trauma-informed Therapist and Counsellor committed to providing personalised support. Drawing from my own lived experience, I strive to develop an in-depth understanding of each client’s unique needs, recognising that individualised care is essential for effective outcomes. Central to my practice is the prioritisation of safety, ensuring that clients feel secure and supported at every stage. I integrate psychoeducational empowerment, somatic techniques, grounding exercises, as well as Humanistic and Existential therapy, offering a comprehensive approach tailored to each person. Throughout our work together, I encourage clients to recognise their autonomy and remain at the centre of their own journey. My role is to offer guidance and walk alongside you as you pursue your chosen path towards growth and healing. I work with clients' central nervous systems, focusing on how the brain is affected by trauma. I am committed to ongoing professional development and reflective practice, ensuring that my therapeutic approach remains current, ethical, and grounded in the latest research. By fostering an atmosphere of non-judgement and compassion, I endeavour to create a space where clients can explore their experiences openly, at their own pace. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and life stages, appreciating the courage it takes to seek support. Together, we will explore your strengths, navigate challenges, and cultivate resilience, always honouring your voice as the guiding force in our collaboration.

Becoming you
I recognise that life is often demanding, both emotionally and financially. My therapeutic philosophy acknowledges that encountering depression and anxiety is an intrinsic part of the human condition—struggles that do not signify weakness, but rather the universal complexity of living. The pursuit of wholeness is a lifelong journey, a passion project unique to each individual, and I firmly believe that you are the foremost expert on your own story.
In my practice, I am dedicated to fostering an environment of unconditional positive regard and empathetic understanding. This means you will always find a space free from judgement, where your feelings and experiences are honoured and respected. My goal is to support your healing and personal development at a pace that feels right for you.
To help ensure therapy is accessible, I offer a complimentary 20-minute initial Zoom meeting. This gives us both the opportunity to determine if we are the right fit for each other and to begin building a foundation of trust. I am also mindful of the financial barriers many faces in accessing mental health support. That is why I provide realistic and specially tailored session rates for students, those on low incomes, and individuals receiving benefits—because I believe mental health care should be within reach for everyone.
Wherever you are in your journey, know that support is available. Together, we can navigate life’s hardships, celebrate your strengths, and work towards the resilience and fulfilment you deserve.
