Prior to becoming a psychologist, Sophia worked as a teacher for 10 years across Sydney, Melbourne, Hanoi and Bangkok, giving her a strong understanding of the unique needs of children, adolescents and families.

As a mother herself, Sophia has developed a particular passion for supporting people through pregnancy, postpartum and early parenthood. She is certified by the Centre of Perinatal Excellence (COPE) in applied skills for perinatal mental health assessment and care, and supports individuals navigating the emotional challenges that can arise during this transformative stage of life.

Sophia’s approach is warm, compassionate, trauma-informed, neuroaffirming and client-centred. She draws on evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches and Process-Based Therapy. Through these approaches, she works collaboratively with clients to build wellbeing and resilience, navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.
