The Beginning of My Independent Thinking Journey
Sophie creates the safest, warmest, most exquisite space. You learn by doing — and by simply being near her thoughtful, quiet presence. This course helped me begin something I’ll be working on for a lifetime: thinking for myself, and letting others do the same.
A Powerful Pause That Changed Everything
I’d read about this work and used it in my own practice — but experiencing it fully, in a beautiful space, with Sophie’s steady facilitation, was something else entirely. It gave me the pause I didn’t know I needed — and a renewed appreciation for what happens when independent thinking is truly honoured.
This is an extraordinary course, with a first class facilitator.

It was a real gift to spend 3 days on the Thinking Partnership course with Sophie.
Being immersed for 3 days allowed myself to experience my own independent thinking, it blew my mind to witness how my brain unravelled and solved my own challenges. Thank you Sophie for the incredible experience, i would highly recommend this course to anyone who is curious about the power of independent thinking.
This course is a beautiful way to reset and reimagine yourself.
This course is a beautiful way to reset and reimagine yourself. The whole environment made for a wonderful feeling of being gently ‘held’ and guided through the three days. Sophie trusts in you, and your fellow thinkers, unreservedly.
The course made me think about the power of listening
Try it and be prepared to be touched by the power of its simplicity.
I loved the pace and the space...
I think what makes Sophie’s teaching space different from most shared learning spaces I've experienced is that she invites more of me in, there is space to inhabit and contribute (this is different from participating) - there is more value and I feel valued (even in my quiet space).
Sophie's experience and knowledge and the way that she lives the 'Thinking Environment' is inspiring
It has made me realise how powerful the Thinking Environment is, how important each component is and it's made me consider the question about how committed am I to helping someone to think for themselves.
It was so good to have some time to think.
If you’re thinking of doing this course with Sophie, I’d say to go for it, Sophie's experience and knowledge and the way that she lives the 'Thinking Environment' is inspiring.
Sophie is an expert guide to the Thinking Environment.
This course will give you confidence to think for yourself and to help others to do the same.
I love working this way!
10/10 Sophie created a safe and inspiring learning environment. She embodied the components throughout the course and this has further convinced me that I love working in this way.
Attending the course has helped me trust my own thinking, make some space to think and to learn to listen more attentively with my children
I’d highly recommend the course. Sophie is a excellent practitioner who really makes this course. Her knowledge, embodiment, compassion shine through.
I felt lighter and happier through the course, and did not want it to end. I want to find a way to stay in that mindset always. It's a gift. Thank you.
These three days really can change your life. It sounds hard to believe, but really thinking about what you want to do and how you want to be does change you.
