About Sophie
Sophie Robinson-Matthews is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports clients facing life changes, sleep problems, parenting strain, workplace pressures and compassion fatigue. Sophie also works with trauma, relationship concerns, anger and difficulties linked to ADHD and body image.
She uses a person-centred core approach, which means sessions focus on warmth, acceptance and the client’s own goals. Sophie describes her practice as integrative.
Background and approach
She draws on several methods to create sessions that fit each person rather than following one fixed model. Her background combines psychology and counselling study with six years of professional experience. Sophie has worked in support services since 2012 and brings both clinical knowledge and practical tools to therapy sessions.
She keeps learning and incorporates current research and techniques into her work. In a typical session Sophie asks questions that encourage self-awareness and practical change. She aims to help people build autonomy, improve self-esteem and reduce overwhelm.
The work often includes learning coping skills, shifting mindset, and trying small behavioural changes between sessions. Sophie welcomes people of all genders and will use preferred pronouns. She explains interventions plainly and avoids recommending approaches she has not tried or that lack a sound evidence base.
Her style is encouraging and empathetic, with a focus on helping clients make steady progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sophie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy as part of her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and it supports living according to personal values. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a non-judgemental, warm space so people can discover their own solutions and build self-worth.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sophie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process so adjustments can be made as needs change.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful when visual contact matters, phone sessions can fit a shorter break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat and messaging can be handy for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity even when schedules change.
