Mrs Megan Brook-Sofianos, MEd

Licensed Educational Psychologist

“I am a passionate psychologist with a love of psychotherapy geared toward facilitating the development of an individual's self-awareness and insight in the context of a safe therapeutic alliance.”

About Me

I am passionate about psychotherapy, offering a safe, welcoming space. Here, you can explore your inner world and deepen your self-awareness. We work together to gain new insights into your experiences. This collaborative approach helps individuals understand themselves better, fostering personal growth. It's especially helpful for those seeking clarity and a stronger sense of self. I guide you to uncover inner strengths, building a foundation for lasting change.

Approach

Sessions gently shift between reflection and practical steps, helping you notice patterns, try small experiments and build a clearer understanding. With children, I weave play and simple assessment into our time to clarify behaviour and learning, while with adolescents and adults, I balance curiosity-led inquiry with concrete coping strategies.
