About Sophie
Sophie Skipp is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, person-centred approach to stress and anxiety. She writes simply and listens closely to what matters to each person. Sophie makes time to understand loss and life changes and helps people find ways to manage day-to-day feelings.
She has four years' experience working with adults and young people from around 16 years old. Much of her work has focused on bereavement and ongoing grief.
Background and approach
That background means she is familiar with how loss can affect identity, mood and relationships with others. Sophie also has experience supporting neurodiverse people, including those with autism and attention differences. She brings that awareness into conversations about anxiety, impulsivity, loneliness and workplace strain.
Sessions can include practical wellbeing tools when these fit the person's goals. Her approach draws on client-centred principles so the person sets the pace and focus. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with calmness and managing strong emotions.
Solution-focused ideas are used to set clear, small goals between sessions. People who choose Sophie can expect straightforward language and a gentle pace. She invites questions and a short chat before starting so goals and next steps are clear.
The therapy pathway is adapted to each person's needs and life circumstances.
How Sophie uses person-centred and mindfulness approaches online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person name what they want to work on, which is useful for stress, anxiety and grief. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple breathing and grounding exercises to reduce tension and manage strong feelings in the moment. Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical steps and builds on what is already working for the person.Choosing the right mix is part of the process. Sophie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and work together to find an approach that fits. That collaborative planning makes sessions feel more relevant and practical from the start.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and keep a steadier connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people reflect in writing, fit support around work, or follow up between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and to try different formats that suit changing needs.
