About Sophie
I’m a professionally trained voice coach and performer, with a particular interest in voice science and the psychology of speaking.
Before my clients get to me, they've often invested a lot of time in speaking training that doesn't get them the results they need. As a performer and business owner, I understand what you need to do to make the right connections verbally.
I have over eighteen years experience working in improv comedy, hosting, performing in and directing shows, and training others to be spontaneous, creative and funny.
I have a master’s degree in Professional Voice Practice from The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and regularly attend continuing professional development (CPD) sessions with leading scientists.
I used to be a workplace mediator in London, successfully resolving conflicts at a rate of 93%, all within one day, and I trained others in the skills they needed to be in-house mediators.
I taught English as a foreign language for 10 years after getting the Cambridge Certificate, known as CELTA. I coach British English accents coaching to actors and use those exercise to help executives sound clearer and more powerful when they present.
I've worked with clients from all over the world and with many different language backgrounds. These include the UK Government, The National Health Service (the NHS), Google, Ticktock, Traveloka, Facebook, the financial sector, start-up founders, event managers, financial and business coaches, comedians, lecturers, poets, all on their speaking, presentation and communication skills.
Improv comedy is a powerful set of techniques and processes that connect you to your playful, creative side as well as finding confidence in expressing bold, honest truths. It's a vital part of honing professional skills connected to spontaneity, collaboration, creativity, agility, listening and team-building.
I've performed in and hosted shows all over London and across Europe and Asia. I regularly perform and train with the improv comedy company Hooplaimprov.com in London Bridge.
I was born in London and grew up here. I've lived in 5 different countries across Europe and Asia and know about the frustrations connected with expressing yourself in a different language and different culture.
I live in South East London with 2 cats and a large coffee pot. I am an unashamed fan of reality TV and North American sitcoms. One day I will achieve my dream of doing yoga more than once a week..

Sophie has a powerful magic wand that helped me to be confident to prepare an introduction video for the TedTalk application. As a non-English native speaker, I'm always worried about 1) my pronunciation that might bring some misunderstandings, and 2) how to really address my points clearly and concisely through my speech.
After 5 sessions with Sophie who carefully listened and empowered me with her professional skills and her compassionate personality that helped me to believe in my own voice that is worth being heard, I completed the application by using all the techniques she taught. .
I very much enjoyed and was satisfied with all these transformational and playful sessions with Sophie. All that I learned is not only for the TedTalk application this time but will also last in my career. Thank you so much Sophie.
If you are looking for a coach to help you to speak with your own power though your voice, Sophie is highly recommended.Recently Sophie and I worked together. Sophie is very engaging and knowledgeable. She guided me in my Voice session with ease and confidence but in such a way that I felt totally in her trust and able hands. I was blown away with the insights she gave me to reflect on and understand about myself. I feel more confident in how I approach things with my presence and understand why I may do things in a certain way. I am forever grateful to her and the time we spent in this session. I would highly recommend working with her.
I had English lessons with her back in 2013. She's kind, knowledgeable and patient. Whenever I had a doubt, Sophie's name pops up in my mind. She's an asset.
The way Sophie teaches is very creative and empowering. My favourite way of Sophie’s teaching, which is also very challenging, is she always tries to challenge me and get me out of my comfort zone in order to elevate my English skills to the next level. I was very motivated by her teaching and now I am bold enough to speak in public in English. Thanks Sophie!
Be bold and be challenged, your English will be levelled up sooner than you expected if you choose Sophie!
Hi Sophie, thank you so much for making English lessons so much fun. Best English lessons I've ever had. You fully understood what I need to pronounce my words better and you were the first who explains how to improve my English more than just learn more words and improve my grammar. Would come back to you any time!
Sophie has had a great role in my journey in learning English. She always made the lessons so enjoyable, it was a pleasure attending them. Also, she was capable to transfer her acting skills into teaching and giving us tips on how to improve pronunciation (still so grateful for this). I can guarantee you that with her you’ll be highly satisfied
