Sophie Ibekwem, NCPS, BACP

Sophie Ibekwem recognises that seeking therapy is an important first step toward change and personal empowerment. She provides a warm and respectful space where people can speak openly and be heard with empathy and care.

Sophie practices from a Person-Centred perspective, supporting clients to explore their goals and priorities without judgement. She works collaboratively to help people build boundaries, increase self-care, and create a clearer, more focused path forward.

Her work includes support for difficult childhood experiences, low self-esteem, confidence building, and recovery from narcissistic or domestic abuse. Sophie also has experience helping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, coping with life transitions, and issues such as grief, addiction, family concerns, and trauma and abuse.

Sophie is licensed to practise in the United Kingdom and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. She holds NCPS and BACP credentials, indicating membership with recognised professional counselling organisations, and she tailors conversations and plans to the individual needs of each person she works with.

She is undertaking further training in Transactional Analysis and Psychoanalytical Theory and is a student member of the UK Association for Transactional Analysis. Sophie applies this training to help identify recurring relationship patterns and to support clients in finding new ways of relating and responding. She aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect while working together toward outcomes that fit each client's unique situation.
