About Sophie
Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns. She works with individuals who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation, concentration and focus. Sophie speaks English and draws on four years of professional experience to support practical change and emotional understanding.
Sophie aims to make sessions straightforward and welcoming. She encourages people to talk about what matters most to them and listens without judgement.
Background and approach
Early sessions focus on what the person wants to change and simple steps they can try between meetings. Her approach blends several well-known methods to match each person's needs. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, exploring attachment and relationship patterns, or using acceptance-based ideas to live with difficult feelings while building a meaningful life.
Sophie also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, sexual and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to parenting, career or long-term illness. She has experience with ADHD, addictions and issues affecting LGBT clients and carers. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Sophie helps set clear goals and offers tools to manage triggers, improve communication and increase everyday coping. The work is collaborative so people can choose what fits them best.

How Sophie uses therapy approaches online
Sophie uses a mix of approaches to suit the person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, while encouraging action toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical behaviour changes to ease symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people develop healthier patterns in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sophie will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that helps rapport. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, coaching-style support or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs and keep continuity between sessions.
