Building psychological flexibility for a 

life open to possibility.

Hi, I'm Britney Soll, in-training for Doctorate of Counselling Psychology.

I am becoming a scientist practitioner who enjoys exploring the human experience through research alongside my clinical practice.

Too often, we label life's challenges as something "wrong with me".

But maybe the question is not "What's wrong with me, but what's happened to me?"

By combining existential philosophy with the principles of psychological flexibility, we can change our narratives and move from feeling "stuck" to living a fulfilling life.

Too often, we label life's challenges as something "wrong with me".

But maybe the question is not "What's wrong with me, but what's happened to me?"

We have all been through hardship and trauma, whether dramatic or quiet. We learn to survive the world we were born into by developing patterns of behaviour. But the patterns that once helped us make it through can end up holding us back. Sometimes we need to change—not because we are to blame, but because we are the only ones who can.

What to Expect From Therapy?

  • Therapy provides a space where your concerns, stories, and experiences matter. You have the capacity and potential to figure out how to live in a way that brings you fulfilment. Therapy supports you in developing self-awareness, authenticity, and responsibility to facilitate change and take accountability for your life, unencumbered by the judgments of others.

  • In our initial sessions, I aim to understand your experiences and the challenges you are facing. It's essential that this time allows you to assess whether you feel comfortable working with me. The duration of therapy varies for each person and is ultimately determined by you as the client.

  • Psychological flexibility is the ability to engage fully with present-moment experiences without defense, while also taking actions aligned with one's values. It's about embracing both difficult and easy experiences, and making choices that move you towards a life that you value. The science of psychological flexibility forms the basis for Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).

  • Existential philosophy explores what it means to be human. It focuses on themes like freedom, meaning, responsibility, and the experience of choice. Rather than offering answers, it invites us to reflect on how we create meaning and live authentically in the face of life’s uncertainties.

  • No. I am currently completing my doctorate in counselling psychology. As part of the doctorate, I am working with clients as a trainee therapist in a number of placements.

Do you work in private practice?

No. I am currently completing my doctorate in counselling psychology. As part of the doctorate, I am working with clients as a trainee therapist in a number of placements and internships. These include at Therapy Horses & Affiliates in Mauritius where I see clients in-person, and at Dilemma Counselling.

How does it work?

In our initial sessions, I aim to understand your experiences and the challenges you are facing. It's essential that this time allows you to assess whether you feel comfortable working with me. The duration of therapy varies for each person and is ultimately determined by you as the client.
