Sophia Jumagali, BACP

Sophia Jumagali is a psychological practitioner who blends brain-informed science with psychotherapeutic understanding to help people navigate emotional and life challenges. She holds an MSc in Psychology from Essex University - a Master of Science degree in psychology - and is accredited by the BACP, the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists. Her advanced training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, hypnotherapy, psychotherapeutic counselling, and psychoanalytic approaches, and she draws on these methods to tailor practical strategies for each person.

Sophia is focused on helping clients understand how their minds work and on building skills to feel more regulated, confident, and in control. Over eight years of practice, she has supported people managing anxiety, low mood, trauma-related stress, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, and many forms of life transition. Her approach integrates neuroscience, person-centred care, and psychodynamic insight so clients receive clear, evidence-informed tools alongside empathic support.

She has experience working with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, and with people facing health-related challenges, bereavement, and end-of-life concerns. Sophia has collaborated with organisations such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Aviva, and Bupa, and many clients report that sessions create a space to explore difficult emotions while learning techniques to build resilience and self-belief.

When working with Sophia, clients can expect a compassionate and collaborative process focused on their priorities - whether that means managing overwhelming feelings, improving concentration, repairing relationships, or finding balance in daily life. Her clinical toolbox includes client-centred therapy, CBT, Jungian and psychodynamic elements, mindfulness, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused interventions, all applied with the aim of supporting sustained personal growth and wellbeing.
