About Sophie

Sophie Lockwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, addiction and trauma. Sophie uses a person-centred way of working and believes clients are the experts on their own lives.

Sophie focuses on making sessions welcoming and non-judgemental. She aims to help people understand why they feel the way they do and to unpick patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Background and approach

Conversations are led by the client and shaped at a pace that feels right for them. Her background includes roles supporting people with substance misuse, harm reduction and recovery. She has volunteered with women affected by domestic violence and has worked with people who have experienced sexual trauma, exploitation and trafficking.

These roles informed her practical, down-to-earth style. Sophie applies a person-centred approach to issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, bereavement, low self-esteem and self-harm. She also offers support for relationship and family concerns, grief, anger and coping with life changes.

Additional areas of focus include aspects of sexual culture and practical concerns around serious illness and end of life. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sophie aims to support and empower people as they take steps towards change, offering a steady, compassionate presence as they explore difficult experiences.

Ways of working Sophie names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

Working with a person-centred approach online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and respect. The therapist creates a space where people can lead the conversation and explore feelings at their own pace. This approach can help with trauma, addiction, anxiety and mood difficulties by putting the client's experience at the centre of the work.

Because Sophie uses a person-centred style, she will work collaboratively to find the best way forward. Together the client and therapist decide which methods and rhythms suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. The therapist checks in and adapts the approach as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit practical needs. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and help people keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
