About Sophie
Sophie Grimmett is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who focuses on anxiety alongside other common difficulties. She holds a Master’s degree at Level 7 from the University of Wales and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
Sophie draws on five years of practical experience that includes local counselling services and work in the National Health Service. Sophie works from a humanistic starting point.
Background and approach
She uses a flexible approach, mixing in self-care ideas and psychoeducation where these help. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical so people leave with things to try between meetings. Her background in secondary mental health and current role as a Psychological Therapist in the NHS give her regular contact with a range of mental health issues.
This experience informs how she recognises common patterns such as stress, low mood, anxiety and difficulties with relationships. In sessions Sophie creates a calm, non-judging space for people to talk about what matters most. She helps clients sort through feelings, notice unhelpful patterns and find realistic next steps they can use day to day.
Sophie is comfortable discussing subjects like grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, compassion fatigue and career concerns. She also supports people through parenting challenges and intimacy-related worries. The aim is to work together at a pace that suits each person.
Approaches that guide online therapy choices
Humanistic counselling focuses on the person rather than labels. It aims to create an accepting space where someone can talk openly, notice what matters to them and choose steps that feel right. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem issues.Psychoeducation and self-care strategies are used alongside humanistic work. These involve simple explanations about symptoms and practical techniques such as sleep hygiene, stress management and pacing activities. They are useful for managing anxiety, sleep problems and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and will work together with each person to find a good fit. Therapy is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations and suit longer sessions. Phone sessions work well for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people send messages between sessions or have shorter check-ins that fit around work and family life.
