About Sophia
Sophia Dar is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. She also helps with grief, low self-esteem, career concerns and coping with life changes. Sophia aims to make sessions approachable and practical so clients can take small, steady steps forward.
Sophia works in a direct and warm way. She personalises each session to fit the person in front of her. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, usable strategies that can be tried between meetings.
Background and approach
Sophia places importance on listening first, then building on what the client already does well. Her practice blends different ways of working. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns show up now.
She also uses behavioural approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and hypnotherapy, to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are also part of her toolkit for practical coping and short-term goals. Sophia holds a Bachelor of Science honours degree in Health and Well Being: Individuals and Communities and diplomas in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and counselling.
The NCPS credential listed is NCPS and she follows the NCS code of ethics. She has around 11 years of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds. Sessions can be arranged by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to availability.

Online support
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help bring forward motivation and new ways of responding. It can support habit change, smoking or vaping cessation, and issues linked to stress or body image.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sophia will discuss options with each person and choose methods based on goals, preferences and what has helped before. That decision is collaborative and can be adapted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls suit more in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for people who prefer written work, shorter exchanges, or pacing progress across the day. These formats make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, medical appointments or caring responsibilities.
