With nearly 20 years experience working in the professional theatre, music and film/tv industries, Sophie brings her lived experience with the arts to the counselling experience to help her clients navigate this wonderful but challenging industry.
I understand this life because I have lived it. I have personally experienced both the dizzying highs and lowest of lows that comes with working as a professional performer. Now, as a qualified counsellor and coach, I am ready to help other creative minds make sense of this unique industry.
