About Dr Sophie Rushbrook

After over two decades of senior roles in the NHS, I now offer expert psychological therapy and clinical supervision through my expanding private practice.

With 30 years of clinical experience- 10 of them as Head of Dorset’s nationally recognised Intensive Psychological Therapy Service- I have worked with individuals facing some of the most complex and enduring psychological difficulties.

I am now available to work with private clients in the UK and offer supervision to therapists worldwide.

Clinical Supervision

I offer clinical supervision specialising in RO-DBT and complex cases, supporting clinicians and service managers in navigating challenging clinical and leadership situations. My supervision approach is endorsed by Professor Tom Lynch, the founder of RO-DBT, ensuring high-quality, evidence-based guidance. Sessions are available worldwide and are flexible across time zones to accommodate your needs. Whether you’re an individual practitioner or managing a clinical service, I’m here to provide tailored supervision and support.

Testimonials

  • I am also grateful to a number of key influencers who have contributed in smaller yet powerful ways to RO DBT over the years. For starters, Sophie Rushbrook was pivotal in helping me formulate the final version of the skills manual and improving our methods of training and supervision

    Thomas R Lynch PhD

  • Sophie is a very kind, caring therapist. She was very patient and I felt very safe working with her. She challenged me with warmth and humour and really helped me to make significant changes in my life. I am so glad I worked with her. She is an exceptional therapist.

    - C.C Therapy Client

  • I’d been struggling with depression for years, and Sophie’s therapy was the first time I felt like someone really understood me. The Internal Family Systems work helped me see my thoughts differently and start feeling better.

    - L.M. Therapy Client

  • Sophies training in Warsaw was transformative! Her expertise is unparalleled, leaving me with practical skills that I felt confident immediately applying.

    Anna K

  • Doing the CAT and EMDR with Sophie really helped me to come to terms with trauma from the past. I honestly don't think I will suffer from depression in the same way ever again. I just wish I had met her years ago.

    - L.B. Therapy Client

  • Attending Sophie's session in Copenhagen was a game-changer for my practice. Her engaging style and deep knowledge made the training invaluable. Would recommend to any therapist trying to improve their practice.

    Lars M

  • The online sessions with Sophie were really convenient for my schedule. She’s patient, listens carefully, and helped me work through my anxiety at my own pace. It made a huge difference.
