This includes depression, anxiety (such as phobias, social anxiety and OCD) and low self-esteem. She has a particular interest in working with neurodiversity in young people and families. Sophie also has extensive experience supporting young people to explore and manage distress related to their gender.

Neurodiversity

Receiving a diagnosis of autism or ADHD can have a huge impact on a person’s life at any age. Sophie is passionate about empowering neurodiverse people to use this information to make sense of their strengths and difficulties. She is attentive to differences in how autism and ADHD can present between boys and girls.
