Was really great to work with Sophie. Sometimes, I just need a listening ear and a validating word and she naturally gives that. She was always so kind and quick at responding. I never felt judged or misunderstood. Really thankful for her help!

More about Sophie
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am licensed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & bipolar disorder. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I am a person-centred counsellor, specialising in addiction, sexual trauma and domestic violence. I also have experience of working with a number of other presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem and self-harm.
As a person-centred counsellor my role is to provide an environment that is non-judgemental, welcoming and is a space that allows you to open and explore the things that you are struggling with and that are holding you back from leading a self-sufficient and fulfilled life.
Counselling helps you to understand why you’re feeling the way that you’re feeling and to unpick what is going on for you in the here and now. This might be due to past events or traumas that are unprocessed or current life issues that you are finding unmanageable. As a counsellor, I do not claim to hold all the answers, but I will work with you in a non-directive and supportive way so that you can begin to understand yourself more.
I have significant experience of working within mental health, including volunteering as a counsellor where I worked with women who were experiencing several issues such anxiety, domestic violence by helping them to feel more empowered and able to manage their feelings and understanding the root cause of their behaviours and emotions. I am currently a Mental Health Specialist working with women who have experienced sexual trauma, violence, exploitation and trafficking. I previously worked as a Recovery Worker and Harm Reduction Worker, working with people with different addictions such as substance abuse and sex addictions. My role was to safely support each individual based on their needs.
I am a registered member of the BACP (MBACP) which means that I follow strict professional guidelines and code of ethics. I am a friendly, warm and experienced counsellor who will be here to facilitate your journey and self-growth in a secure, safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
