Sophie Nevill, M.A.
The Journey
After a few difficulties around health and relationships as a teenager, Sophie decided to learn meditation at the age of 18. Since this time Sophie has now been meditating daily for over 13 years. So inspired and encouraged by the incredible life-changing benefits of meditation, and also seeing a great need for a deeper sense of peace and serenity amongst her peers, Sophie started teaching meditation at the University of Edinburgh when she was undertaking her degree. Since this time, Sophie has been teaching meditation to many people across various cities around the world.
Although teaching meditation has always been Sophie’s greatest passion, she also started to find that it wasn’t always enough to help her students integrate, and deal with life’s difficulties and challenges. Subsequently in order to gain a greater understanding of the human mind, body, and soul, Sophie undertook a full-time, 4 year training and Masters program in Transpersonal Psychology and Mindfulness-based Counselling. Now practising as a fully qualified transpersonal psychotherapist, Sophie has a much vaster and deeper understanding of the human body/mind, as well as the Self beyond and within this unique manifestation, and is subsequently able to fully support her clients in navigating, and integrating the inevitable ups and downs of life in a deeply grounded and secure way.

Alongside this journey and training Sophie has been undertaking her own ever-deepening meditation practise and inner self-work, which has led her to have a number of very profound and deep Awakening experiences. At the age of 23 the ‘self’ spontaneously and completely dissolved and she experienced herself as Every-thing and No-thing. She was then shown all her past lives in concordance, very much like a movie screen, and for the next few weeks was able to see and experience first-hand how consciously resting in and as, this inherent ‘impersonal’ Void of Everything – her ‘personal’ thoughts and prayers would manifest almost instantly into form.
The profound affect of these few weeks has never left Sophie and her journey since then, has been an ever-deepening awakening too, and embodiment of this infinite Stillness and Peace, into every area of her unique human holographic reality. Allowing every facet and aspect of the conditioned personal ‘self’, to be seen, healed and brought back into alignment with essential unconditional Love and Wholeness that I Am.
Recognising and experiencing ever-more deeply how God is both within and beyond all things and You are that. Sophie aims to hold this level of Awareness with every client she sees. To gently and compassionately hold both their ‘story’, and the infinite timeless Self beyond the story, without bypassing either. So that ultimately all of life can start to be experienced as Holy, as Sacred and as the Beloved in expression, leading itself back to Her. Embracing and welcoming it all, so that all can be alchemised and welcomed Home in the essential Love that we are.

Over the years Sophie has worked with a wide range of ages stemming from 6 to 98 years old. Through her experience she has gained a very strong faith in the inherent wisdom of each client to know what they need in every given moment. She thus aims to create a deeply safe space for her clients to find their own inner security, strength and wisdom throughout each session. She believes therapist’s are merely guides to help hold a compassionate and non-judgmental container for their clients to connect ever more deeply to their own 'inner therapist/teacher/parent'. Sophie has substantial experience working with anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, spiritual challenges, family and relationship issues, life purpose difficulties and existential crises'.
Furthermore, throughout her life Sophie has suffered from various health issues and chronic pain difficulties. This has led her on a journey to study the mind/body connection in great depth. Her passion for healing both on the physical and non-physical realms has led her to focus more specifically on the role of emotions in disease and learning various ways to help her clients connect to the deeper wisdom and message of their illness and pain. Subsequently Sophie also specialises in seeing clients who may have chronic health and/or pain issues and aspires to help support her clients in compassionately navigating, and finding the higher reason behind this sometimes arduous journey.
