About Sophie
Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She meets individuals where they are and focuses on practical steps to ease daily pressure. Sophie keeps sessions straightforward and calm to help people talk through what matters most to them.
She uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance and commitment techniques, to help people manage difficult thoughts and make choices that fit their values.
Background and approach
Attachment-based work and client-centred listening guide how she explores relationship patterns and connection issues. Sophie has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes supporting people with depression, trauma and abuse, focus and concentration difficulties often linked to ADHD, low self-esteem, and grief.
Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. Sophie works with people to build small, achievable changes and to practise new ways of responding to stress. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly.
Many people come for help with life transitions, career pressures, relationship friction, or struggles with sleep and eating. Sophie also offers support around addiction, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns. She focuses on helping each person find clearer choices and steadier routines.
How Sophie blends therapy methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses simple experiments and exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings of safety and closeness, and it can help people understand repeating relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss options and try different ways of working so the plan fits each person’s goals and preferences. She uses a collaborative style, inviting feedback and adjusting methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions are good when video is not possible, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel without losing continuity of care.
