About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a BACP registered counsellor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and parenting challenges. She works with issues around self-esteem, motivation, intimacy, eating and anger, and supports clients facing major life changes and career concerns. Sophie also lists additional focus areas such as attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care situations, and codependency.
Sophie uses a warm, non-judgemental style and treats the person rather than a set of symptoms. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. The aim is to build small, steady steps that fit into everyday life.
Her approach combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and emotionally focused and attachment-based ways of working. Sophie draws on those approaches to help people notice difficult thoughts, reconnect with what matters, and practise different ways of relating. She encourages practical experiments between sessions so change can be tested in the real world.
Sophie has four years of professional experience in the UK and has worked in bereavement services. That background informs her work with loss and life transitions. She describes the client as the expert in their own story and aims to support people to find clearer ways forward.
People who want calm, steady support and practical steps often find her style useful. Sophie offers space to talk through painful feelings, sort out confusing relationships, and plan manageable changes.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck by worry or shame and wants to reconnect with what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns through clear, practical steps. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which fits best. That collaboration looks at the person's goals, what feels helpful, and practical day-to-day needs rather than assuming one method for everyone.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try conversational and skills-based work from a familiar routine while still practising changes in daily life.
