Individual Therapy, Wellbeing & Personal Development
Understanding yourself can change how you experience life, relationships and work.
With Sophie Snell | Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, EMDR Practitioner & Workplace Wellbeing Strategist
Hello and welcome, I'm Sophie, an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor, clinical hypnotherapist, EMDR practitioner, NLP practitioner and transformational coach, with a background in workplace wellbeing, leadership development and occupational health and safety.
I offer a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore what's happening in your life, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and begin to make sense of experiences that may be affecting how you feel. Whether you're navigating personal challenges, struggling with sleep or simply wanting to understand yourself better, we'll work together to explore what matters most to you.
My approach brings together psychological understanding, therapeutic techniques and a particular interest in the relationship between our mind, body and nervous system.
The behaviour is rarely the whole story.
Understanding organisations starts with understanding people
At Big Picture Lab, we explore how people, leadership and ways of working shape wellbeing, culture and performance. Alongside understanding the working environment, we recognise that every person brings their own experiences, beliefs, relationships and emotional responses to it.
Sophie’s therapeutic and personal development expertise brings depth to this understanding. It helps us look beneath the behaviour we see, understand why change can be difficult and recognise what people may need to move forward. This informs how we support organisations to create healthier working environments and develop more self-aware leaders and managers.
Sophie also offers a confidential space for people to explore their own lives, relationships and personal growth. You can work with her directly, independently of your employer, or through separately agreed employer-funded support.
Supporting the individual and improving the conditions they work in are complementary parts of the bigger picture. Individual support should never replace action to address problems in the workplace.
For individuals
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Space to talk and make sense of things.
A confidential, compassionate space to explore anxiety, stress, grief, relationships, emotional overwhelm and life changes. Work at your own pace to understand your experiences and what matters to you—you don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
Focused Therapeutic Support
Support shaped around your needs.
Explore specific difficulties, such as distressing memories, sleep problems or unwanted habits, through an approach tailored to you. Sophie will work with you to consider whether clinical hypnotherapy, EMDR or nervous system informed techniques may be suitable for your needs.
Personal Development
Understand yourself. Move forward.
Explore the beliefs, experiences and patterns that influence your confidence, relationships and choices. Whether you want to set clearer boundaries, navigate change or understand how you show up as a leader, develop the self-awareness to make choices that reflect what matters to you.
For employers
For leaders:
Leadership From Within
Greater self-awareness. More conscious leadership.
Explore how your experiences, beliefs and emotional responses influence your decisions, relationships and the culture you help create. Develop greater awareness of your impact on others and make more conscious choices about how you lead.
For managers: Managing with Confidence
Understand your responses. Build confidence in managing others.
Recognise what shapes your reactions under pressure and how this influences everyday management. Build confidence in having difficult conversations, setting clear boundaries and supporting your team while looking after your own wellbeing.
For employees: Understanding Yourself
Build self-awareness. Navigate everyday challenges.
Explore the beliefs, habits and emotional responses that influence how you experience work and relate to others. Develop greater confidence in expressing your needs, setting boundaries and responding to challenges in ways that support your wellbeing.
Sleep, Fatigue & Workplace Safety
Understand fatigue. Support wellbeing and safer working.
Explore how sleep difficulties, stress and working conditions can affect alertness, judgement and safety. Through individual support, employee workshops and manager awareness sessions, help people understand their sleep and support your organisation in recognising and addressing factors that contribute to fatigue.
