About Sophie

Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship struggles. She works with people dealing with depression, concentration and memory difficulties, ADHD-related focus issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sophie aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

Sophie uses straightforward talk therapy where clients set the pace. She creates an open space for sharing thoughts and feelings without judgement. Sessions focus on practical steps, noticing patterns, and building small changes that fit into everyday life.

Her approach draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred work. This lets her combine values-based goals, thought-work, and a warm, listening stance depending on what a person needs.

Sophie has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She brings that background to conversations about grief, addiction, intimacy, codependency and many other concerns. She avoids jargon and keeps discussions clear and concrete.

People who choose to work with her often want a practical, compassionate way to handle life changes, parenting stress, career worries or ongoing mood difficulties. Sophie supports clients as they try out new coping strategies and notice what helps them feel more in control.

How Sophie uses therapy approaches online

Sophie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that suit remote work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-led steps even when feelings are difficult. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

She also uses Client-Centred principles, which means listening carefully and following the client’s pace. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sophie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when life gets disrupted. It often helps people have shorter check-ins, fit workday breaks around appointments, or avoid travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats, and plan with Sophie for approaches that suit your needs and daily routine.
