Sophia Khan

Meet Sophia, an integrative counsellor from the UK who offers a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive and faith-grounded approach to therapy.

Sophia has extensive experience across a range of settings, including some of the UK's leading mental health organisations. She has supported clients with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, abuse, grief, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

As a second-generation immigrant, Sophia understands the complexities of navigating multiple, intersecting identities and the challenges this can bring. She brings that understanding into her work, so you don't have to explain or set aside parts of who you are.

She tailors her work to each client, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. All of this is grounded in a trauma-informed, Islamic and compassion-focused framework.

Sophia knows that reaching out for support isn't always easy, so her sessions are built on safety, warmth, compassion and non-judgement. Together, you can explore your emotional and relational experiences, understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck or overwhelmed, and build practical tools for coping with life's difficulties.

Her aim is to help you develop greater self-understanding and self-compassion, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
