About Sophie

Sophie Bellamy is a counsellor who helps people facing codependency and related issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. She supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, stress and life changes. Sophie commonly works with problems around self-esteem, addiction, ADHD and intimacy-related worries.

Sophie uses an integrative, relational approach. She combines attachment ideas with Gestalt-influenced work to look at how past relationships affect present patterns. Sessions are conversational and grounded. Sophie aims to help people spot repeating patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her style is practical and gentle. She helps people build resources for day-to-day life and relationships. Sessions focus on what feels most useful now and on small, manageable steps between meetings.

Sophie has worked in counselling for five years and holds BACP accreditation. She draws on several therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred ideas to shape the work.

People coming to Sophie can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through painful experiences and make changes. She supports exploration of attachment patterns, identity, and coping strategies so people can move toward a fuller life.

How Sophie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sophie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and client-centred practice to shape conversations. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices, which can be useful for anxiety, codependency and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions, helping with intimacy and relationship worries. Client-centred therapy offers a listening, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process rather than a single decision. Sophie will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may blend techniques as the work develops.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when needed, make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and let people choose whether to be on camera.
