Sophia Jumagali, BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP #399703

My name is Sophia, and I am a qualified Psychological Practitioner with a scientific, brain-based approach to therapy. I hold an MSc in Psychology from Essex University and advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, psychotherapeutic counselling, hypnotherapy, and psychoanalysis.

I am passionate about helping clients better understand how their minds work and developing practical strategies to feel more regulated, confident, and in control. My work draws on neuroscience, psychoanalytic insight, and evidence-based techniques, offering clients clear tools to manage anxiety, low mood, trauma-related stress, and day-to-day challenges.

I have experience supporting a wide range of clients, including those living with neurodivergent experiences such as ADHD and autism, as well as individuals navigating health-related difficulties, bereavement, and major life transitions. My therapeutic style integrates scientific understanding of the brain with person-centred and psychoanalytic approaches, so clients feel respected, informed, and empowered throughout the process.

Over the years, I have worked with clients referred by organisations such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Aviva, and Bupa. Many have shared that my sessions provide a safe space to explore difficult emotions while learning effective techniques to build resilience and self-belief.

When we work together, you can expect a compassionate, collaborative atmosphere where we focus on what is most meaningful to you—whether that is learning to manage overwhelming feelings, improving focus, or creating a sense of balance in your daily life.
