Sofia Schuringa
B.A. PSYC, ADMH, RHNC
Counsellor & Registered Health and Nutrition Counsellor/Coach
Sofia Schuringa brings a deeply personal and transformative perspective to her counselling practice. As a survivor of sexual abuse, Sofia has navigated her own journey towards mental, emotional, and spiritual wholeness. This personal experience fuels her passion for journeying with others, helping them explore and understand their life stories in a safe and nurturing environment.
Her academic foundation in psychology and social work, combined with her certifications in mental health and holistic nutrition, allows her to offer a unique, creative approach to counselling. Sofia's eclectic method is client-centered, emphasizing the discovery and exploration of each individual's narrative. She believes in creating a safe space where clients can be their authentic selves and work towards their goals.
Sofia has had the privilege of working with clients from all over the world and utilizes her natural curiosity to continue learning and growing.
When Sofia is not working with clients, you can find her drinking lattes, painting, spending time with her hubby + daughter, and decorating!
