I met Sophie at a mediation event and was immediately struck by her warmth and friendly manner.
I went on to benefit from a number of supervision meetings with Sophie and found the process extremely beneficial and enlightening. I lead a team and juggle a lot of plates at work and at home and I found Sophie’s natural interest and pragmatic attitude to be a welcome insight into my practice and approach. I would not hesitate to recommend Sophie if you are considering supervision for yourself and/or your team members. It is obvious to say that family solicitors are required to deal with extreme emotions and impactful situations as a matter of their daily work. Supporting solicitors’ mental health is fundamentally important to a successful practice and providing solicitors with expert support from a supervisor that has lived their role is invaluable.

Sophie really cares and understands the issues I have raised in supervision, especially as she is an experienced lawyer herself. Having the supportive, confidential and non judgmental space to unload and work through whatever is on your mind and impacting on your work is so helpful. There isn't that kind of space anywhere else in day to day life.

Sophie was incredibly helpful in discussing a sensitive situation and helped me to come to a decision on how best to deal with it. I was struggling to come up with a plan for dealing with it myself. It was invaluable to talk to an independent person confidentially, who was also previously a lawyer so understands what it is like being one. After I had dealt with my issue, we discussed the outcome which was very useful. She was very supportive and helped me come up with a beneficial plan for dealing with the situation.

Such a relief to be able to download and think through my work with Sophie's support, in a safe space on a regular basis. She clearly cares and is skilled at helping you find your own way to good decisions.
