Hi, I’m Maj-Britt (pronounced My-Britt), and I've always been fascinated by people—by how we heal when life has felt like it's cast too many stones. By how we make sense of our experiences and choices, how we cope with difficult things, and how we find our way into who we are now. How we make peace with the past and find a new sense of belonging: to ourselves first, then in our relationships and the rest of life.
In my work as a psychotherapist, coach and Havening Techniques® practitioner, I offer a space where people feel comfortable enough to be honest, feel understood without fear of being judged, and are truly listened to.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, low on hope, or caught in patterns they want to find a way out of. Many have experienced unspeakable things. Together we explore what's happening beneath the surface, give space to grieve, to understand, to heal and to develop practical tools to help them move forward with greater peace and confidence.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work within community mental health services and have previously supported people affected by suicide through Chris's House.
I work primarily in person from Central Scotland.
I believe there is something powerful about being face to face. Havening is a deeply experiential process, and for many people there is real value in sharing the same physical space while doing this work.
Online sessions are also available for those who are further afield.
If you're wondering whether therapy that includes Havening Techniques® might be helpful for you, I'd love to hear from you.

Surprised by the results
I was initially skeptical of Havening being that it was coming from a different perspective then I was used to, but I was pleasantly surprised by the results. I received a lot of freedom. Initially I tried some on my own, but working directly with Sofia was far more effective. She is a very knowledgeable, experienced person that truly cares and wants to help. I’d highly recommend anyone to her. ~ Jack, ScotlandPositive Change
Sofia has a firm and compassionate way of creating safety in the therapeutic relationship. I had a clear understanding of the neuroscience of Havening and possible outcomes of this form of practice.Personally I recommend Sofia as a safe clinician and found that in our brief session it has become a catalyst of positive change.
Thank you Sofia ~ Natalie, Perth, Western Australia.
Painful Memories
Wow, this is AMAAAAAZING! In my first session of Havening, I presented 2 painful memories - the first only a 4 or 5 on the pain scale, the second a 9 or 10. One hour later and all the pain attached to those memories seems to have gone, and with it a whole load of emotional baggage. Without going into the science behind it, it should free me up to live life in a very different way, and I am excited!I highly recommend Sofia if you're interested in this technique. Thank you so much Sofia! ~ Hilary, Spain
Brain Fog
I came to the session with brain fog, known to some people as brain fatigue. For me brain fog is the opposite of feeling calm, optimistic, motivated and levelheaded. As I started the session I was aware of a lack of focus, of reduced mental acuity, of high levels of irritability with a background buzzing with anxiety. This was an all too familiar feeling.I had been told that brain fog is rooted in a lifestyle that promotes inflammation and hormonal imbalances and is exacerbated by stress. I had read Jeanne D. Andrus book Think Again! where she talks about the positive impact that Havening has on reversing brain fog and I was keen to see for myself.
It was great to meet Sofia who immediately made me feel at ease. Her thorough assessment was carried out with kindness and humour. She explained Havening theory, how the session would work and that I was in the driving seat. I felt completely safe and taken care of and as soon as we began the session I knew Sofia was a skilled and competent practitioner. By the end of the session my brain fog had gone. Not only that I had been able to come out of the session with an action plan to help me move forward.
I cannot recommend Sofia and Havening highly enough. What a joy to have my brain back and be headache free. ~ Kirsty, England
