About Sophie

Sophie Grimmett is a counsellor who uses a humanistic foundation to support people through difficult times. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in local counselling services and the National Health Service. Sophie aims to make talking about worries feel straightforward and manageable.

She works in a pluralistic way, drawing on different tools and self-care strategies as needed.

Background and approach

That means sessions might include practical ideas, short exercises, or information to help someone understand their situation better. Sophie keeps interactions warm and non-judgemental so people can say what they need to say. Sophie has worked within secondary mental health services and currently holds a role as a psychological therapist in the NHS.

This background gives her experience with a wide range of mental health concerns, from anxiety and depression to trauma and addiction. She uses that experience to tailor conversations to each person. People often come to her with stress, relationship worries, low self-esteem, grief, or struggles with sleep and eating.

She also supports those facing career pressures, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and intimacy issues. Sophie aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and make choices that suit their lives. Getting started involves a simple matching process and scheduling.

Sophie encourages a collaborative approach where the person sets their goals and she helps work out practical steps to reach them.

Short-term approaches and online therapy options

Sophie works from a humanistic base that focuses on the person's experience and strengths. This approach helps people talk through feelings and make sense of what matters to them in everyday life. It is useful for stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.

She also uses pluralistic methods, blending practical techniques and psychoeducation where helpful. That might include simple self-care strategies, coping tools for mood or sleep, and information to help someone understand patterns that affect them. These techniques can assist with trauma recovery, addiction-related coping, ADHD challenges and managing compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process and Sophie treats it as a joint task. She will discuss options with each person, listen to their goals and preferences, and adapt the plan over time to find the best fit.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or want flexible, ongoing support between sessions. These formats aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
