Sophie Gunnion Lasek Drama Therapist UK: About Me

Sophie Gunnion Lasek Drama Therapist UK is not taking clients until Spring 2026. I am a Dramatherapist and Supervisor known for being empathic, calm, and reassuring. Above all, I want to support clients in discovering their potential by connecting with their inner strengths, resilience, self-worth, and authentic selves. To guide my work, I rely heavily on neuroscience and how our brains respond to stress and trauma. This knowledge helps me tailor therapy and supervision to each individual.

Sophie Gunnion Lasek Drama Therapist UK: Approach and Philosophy

I draw inspiration from psychology and philosophy, which help me understand the realities, challenges, and joys of being human. Everyone needs to feel understood, and when our needs remain unmet, it often creates distress. Therefore, I find it essential to think deeply with my clients about the roots behind their feelings. Through this process, clients feel empowered and resilient. As a Dramatherapist, I use metaphors, symbols, and clients’ own creativity to help them feel deeply seen and understood.

Areas of Specialisation

I specialise in treating anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, attachment issues, low mood, and developing self-compassion. My experience spans childhood trauma, grief, loss, adversity, and relational difficulties. I understand how these experiences shape us and affect our emotional well-being throughout life. Working many years in schools with families and children has enriched my understanding of how childhood experiences influence adult struggles. This background allows me to guide clients towards healing and feeling better.

Supporting Your Emotional Needs

I help you consider and understand your emotional needs, their origins, and how you can meet them to find more inner peace. I bring warmth and passion to my work. At Self Space, where I have worked since its launch, I support families, children, and adults. Additionally, I teach and supervise trainee Dramatherapists. I offer virtual sessions on Tuesdays, making therapy accessible no matter where you are.
