About Sophie
Sophie Sinclair-Brown is a counsellor who uses person-centred, or Client-Centred, therapy to help people navigate anxiety and other concerns. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sophie writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the start.
She offers a calm, non-directive approach that places the client at the centre of the work. Sessions are guided by what the client brings rather than a set agenda.
Background and approach
That can suit people who want to make sense of feelings, explore identity, or find new ways to manage stress and relationships. Her practice has included supporting people through bereavement, relationship issues, and major life changes. She has also worked with people affected by sexual and domestic abuse, addictions, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.
Sophie says she creates an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and welcomes discussion about sexuality and identity. Sophie gained a master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy and has three years of professional experience. She uses straightforward language during sessions, helping people name what matters and consider next steps at a comfortable pace.
People who prefer a non-directive style often come to Sophie when they want to explore underlying causes rather than just learn coping techniques. She is open to discussing whether this approach fits a person’s needs before the first session.
How person-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on an accepting, non-directive relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects what matters to the client. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and questions about identity by allowing a person to uncover their own priorities and insights rather than following a set programme.In practice Sophie creates space for people to talk through whatever feels important that day. She uses open questions and reflective listening to help people find clarity and agency. That style can suit people who want to explore underlying causes of distress rather than just learning specific techniques.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie treats finding the best fit as a collaborative process and will discuss whether a person-centred method feels appropriate for a person’s needs, goals and preferences. If another direction seems better, she will talk through options and next steps together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions work well when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
