Sophie Broadbent

Hello. I'm Sophie. I am a creative and thoughtful therapist, working mainly outdoors in Brighton, UK. I offer an open and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. At your pace, and in a way that fits your unique needs.

I acknowledge the climate and ecological emergency and how many issues are intertwined with this: inclusion, colonialism, justice, intersectionality and historical trauma. Sensitivity. Neurodiversity. And a collective deep need for healing, grounding, and connection with the world around us.

I have a professional background of over 20 years in TV production and more recently, carbon literacy education. I qualified as a counsellor in 2022. I am an activist myself, and have thought deeply about the climate and ecological emergency and my personal response. I’d like to hear about yours.

I am a parent, and I enjoy being an active volunteer in my community. I love to connect with people from all walks of life and this helps me offer one to one counselling which is genuine, creative and open-minded.

My Therapeutic Approach

I am a registered member with the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework. My therapeutic counselling work is integrative, which means it draws from many theories including: humanistic, person-centred, psychodynamic, transactional analysis and gestalt. I’m also interested in bodywork and family constellations.

I will work with you to explore what you want from three free therapeutic support sessions. It’s a short time-frame, but can still be powerful and useful. It could be a simple space to gather your thoughts, room to look at key points in your past, or reflection on patterns in your present day. I can help you reflect on where you are right now, and plan what you’d like to do next.
