    The Art Of The Restart w/Sophie Scott #ep115

    This week on The Quiet Life Michael speaks with Sophie Scott @sophie.b.scott , Author, Founder and Psycotherapist.

Tailoring a blend of techniques, specific to that individual, from behavioral experiments, visualization, Inner Child work, mindfulness, and more. A former lecturer in developmental theory (Highgate Counselling Centre) and a steadfast advocate for psychoeducation, Sophie’s expertise extends to mentoring and coaching a diverse range of individuals, from students to CEOs, aiding them in discovering their ‘inner magic.’ Sophie completed an extensive 6-year training at CCPE and now runs a private practice in Central London. Her commitment to fostering self-awareness and transformation is evident across her career, and she is currently writing a mainstream therapy book (Watkins Media). In addition, Sophie consults for various startups in the health and wellness space.⁠ You can find out more about Sophie on her website sophiescott.co ⁠, You can also follow along with her on Instagram @sophie.b.scott.
