Learn More About Me
Creative coach and performance Mentor
I have been performing in the West End, nationally and internationally for the past twenty years. Having played in the ensemble and working my way up to many lead roles, such as Eponine and Fantine in Les Miserable, Sophie in Mamma Mia and Grizabella in Cats, I have had my fair share of auditions. There has always been a level of excitement and anxiety when they have approached and I have always known that preparation is key. I have created Mind Management technique workshops and 1:2:1 coaching programmes to help performers mentally prepare for auditions and performance. I am now the founder of the company “The Musical Mentor” and I am so passionate to share my knowledge with performers, who have suffered with performance anxiety and audition nerves. I want to help them create a positive mindset, a winning attitude and a love and excitement for sharing their talents.

Testimonials
‘The way Sophia communicates her message is so unique: she creates a nurturing atmosphere in which you feel comfortable and willing to connect with parts of yourself you may otherwise find difficult to recognise. What she has to offer and the way she does it is priceless. I would urge everyone to take part in her workshops given the opportunity.’
