Sophia Hammoudeh, BACP

About Sophia

Sophia Hammoudeh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports people struggling with sleep and eating problems, anger, parenting strain, career worries, and life transitions. Sophia speaks English and Arabic and works with clients across borders.

Her style is flexible and down-to-earth. She uses plain language and adapts sessions to what each person needs.

Background and approach

Sophia aims to make starting therapy straightforward and to help people feel understood from the first meeting. Sophia draws on several approaches to guide sessions. She uses trauma-focused methods to address the effects of difficult experiences, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live in line with their values, and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviours.

She also works from a client-centred stance and brings elements of emotionally-focused therapy when relationships are central to the work. With five years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Sophia brings a practical, compassionate approach. She believes there is no single way that fits everyone and tailors plans to each person's situation.

People usually start by describing what they find hard and what they hope for. From there Sophia helps set simple, achievable goals and reviews progress together. She offers sessions in several formats to fit different needs and routines.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Sophia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-focused work aims to reduce the hold of distressing memories and reactions. Online sessions can gently explore how past events affect daily life and develop ways to manage strong emotions and triggers.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values. In remote sessions Sophia might use short exercises and practical worksheets to build habits that fit a client's everyday routine.

Attachment-based ideas look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Conversations online can map patterns in relationships and help people try different ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

Sophia treats choosing the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options that suit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support short check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing contact between longer sessions. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel.
