My name is Dr Sophie Lea and I am based in Melbourne, Australia. I have been working happily in the helping professions my entire professional life.

After further counsellor training, I have worked as a school counsellor both in international schools and here in Australia in specialist settings and for independent schools.

I currently work as a Lecturer in the School of Educational Psychology and Counselling at Monash University. I also am a co-founder and Director of Kind Schools, a not-for-profit which supports schools globally to embed kindness practices into school communities- launching in 2022.
