About Sophia

Sophia Hammoudeh is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and trauma. She also supports clients facing addiction, grief, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and she works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sophia uses a flexible approach rather than one fixed method. She listens first, then tailors the way she works to each person's needs. That might mean short-term practical tools for stress, or deeper work on attachment and past hurt.

Background and approach

Her practice draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred work. ACT helps people focus on values and actions. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She also brings elements of emotionally-focused work and hypnotherapy when these fit the goals of the person she is working with. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.

Sophia has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People often come for help with sleep, eating or career stress, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, or coping with life changes. Sophia encourages a practical, steady way forward and will work with each person to find useful steps they can try between sessions.

Approach-driven online therapy for anxiety and trauma

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters to a person and encourages small, values-based steps. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes by helping people act in line with their priorities rather than avoid difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people reroute unhelpful ways of relating when those patterns cause pain.

Sophia treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She listens to what a person wants to change and discusses which methods might help. Together they try approaches in sessions and adjust the plan as goals and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or travel commitments.
