Sophie Elatri, MPsych

I am a qualified psychologist with a specialisation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I offer treatment, in the form of therapy, for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain, addiction. I also see people who are struggling to deal with life crises, or adjust to life’s demands. I also provide coaching in order to reach a specific goal or simply to get to know yourself better. I can help you with:

• An ongoing mental health issue that’s stopping you from getting what you want in life (for example: anxiety, depression).
• Managing your workload effectively and increase performance. We work on fighting procrastination, tackling issues of self-esteem and confidence, learn effective time-management and organisation skills, develop positive habits (and break bad ones), increase will-power, focus on success, address issues of perfectionism.
• Getting a hold on addictions, whether it be to drugs and alcohol, smoking, food, sugar cravings, internet, shopping.
• Breaking out of negative self-image in order to go forward in life.
• Finding the motivation to change.
• Developing positive relationships. I can teach you how to be more assertive and actually ask people what you want in a positive way.
• Communicating more effectively.
• Support during a tough period in life.

Where a specific disorder is the reason you seek therapy, our therapeutic goals will be to:

• Alleviate symptoms quickly.
• Gain autonomy, recover lost freedoms, detach yourself from toxic relationships.
• Gain the necessary skills to deal with relapse, without having to come back for sessions.
• Obtain long-lasting results and life-long changes through a better understanding of how you function as an individual.

Where supportive therapy is involved, our therapeutic goals will be to:

• Alleviate uncomfortable and paralysing feelings.
• Gain skills in adaptive ways of coping.
• Obtain support from me for however long you choose.
• Obtain life-long changes through a better understanding of how you function as an individual.
