I make things about who we become in relationship: with ourselves, the people we love, God, and the lives we've learned to carry.
Books, music, quizzes, writing. Coaching is one door in the house, not the name on the door.

Licensed counsellor. In private practice since 2013. Confidential work with clients around the world.
The Ugly Duckling spent years trying to improve his waddle. He was never a bad duck. He was a swan looking into the wrong mirror.
The work
The God Speaks series: Scripture, then God's voice, one day at a time.
Songs as Sophia Oakley. Some things are easier to sing than explain.
See what you've been carrying, and what's happening between you.
Identity, relationships, faith and family life.
For love that keeps getting stuck in the same place.

I've worked with families since 2002, opening my private practice in 2013. My work has always centred on the patterns we live by and how they shape the way we see ourselves and one another.
I grew up as the daughter of Lydia and Francois du Toit (my father wrote the Mirror Bible), surrounded by grace. I believe everything can change when we live from our God-given identity, rather than striving to earn it.

Love Letters
Once a week: a heart-to-heart from my week. Sometimes it's about identity, sometimes relationships, how we handle our feelings or a tool you can use. Written from faith, even when it isn't about faith.
