Sofia Korachai

Sofia Korachai is a fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor (MA). She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a BPC Scholar and a BPS-accredited psychologist. She works with both adults and children and brings three years of clinical experience to her practice.

Originally from Greece and having spent time living in Portugal, Sofia now practices in the United Kingdom. Across these different settings she has observed a shared human experience - no one is immune to emotional pain - and she aims to accompany people who find that pain hard to carry alone.

Her work is grounded in a psychodynamic framework with close attention to unconscious communication and to the dynamics of transference and countertransference that can appear in therapy. Sofia practises mainly from a relational stance, believing that people are continually shaped by their social contacts. She aims for the therapeutic relationship to model healthy attachment, offering a corrective emotional experience and a secure base from which clients can explore their lives.

Sofia has experience supporting people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. She strives to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely. Sofia recognises that beginning counselling can bring anxiety as well as hope; by building a steady, curious presence she works with clients to connect past, present and future, heal old wounds and lay foundations for more fulfilling relationships.
