About Sophie
Sophie Robinson-Matthews is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship challenges. She supports those coping with life changes, parenting pressures, work stress, trauma and anger. Sophie also works with worries about sleep, self-esteem, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her way of working centres on person-centred counselling, so sessions are warm, accepting and focused on the person in front of her. She adapts each meeting to what the client needs and prefers.
Background and approach
Sophie draws on multiple approaches so the work is practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Clients can expect help with understanding difficult feelings and making small behaviour changes. She uses insight-oriented questions to deepen self-awareness and encourage autonomy.
Sophie aims to help people build clearer goals and healthier patterns over time. Sophie has six years of professional experience and a background in both psychology and counselling training. She keeps learning and blends research-based methods with more human-centred thinking.
This mix informs how she plans sessions and selects interventions. Her work covers a wide range of issues including attachment concerns, body image, eating issues, dissociation, domestic violence, fertility and family of origin problems. Sophie is comfortable using different techniques such as CBT, ACT, DBT and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit each person.
Sessions are offered in English and Sophie accepts international clients. Her approach is encouraging and practical, and she aims to help people find more hope, agency and day-to-day wellbeing.

Online support
How Sophie blends approaches for online therapy
Sophie draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and make sense of strong emotions in relationships and personal patterns. EFT can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when attachment wounds keep repeating. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and on taking steps that match personal values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work on early relationship patterns, abandonment and connection issues. This approach helps people understand how past bonds shape present reactions and relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sophie works collaboratively to choose methods that match each persons goals, needs and preferences. She may combine elements from different models and will check in about what is helpful. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face when time and travel are limited. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need support that fits around work and family commitments. Many registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy easier to fit into daily life while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
