About Sophie

Sophie Robinson-Matthews is a counsellor who supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, parenting strains, sleeping problems, anger and career worries. Sophie uses a person-centred approach so people are treated with warmth and acceptance while they work through difficult feelings.

She blends different therapies to match each person's needs. That means sessions can include ideas from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused work and trauma-informed ways of working.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to achieve rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sophie trained in psychology and counselling and has worked in support services since 2012, bringing six years of professional counselling experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and keeps learning about new evidence and methods to improve her practice.

In practice she asks practical, insight-oriented questions to help people increase self-awareness and make changes. She aims to help clients build autonomy, self‑esteem and coping tools so life feels more manageable and purposeful. Sophie is comfortable using preferred pronouns and approaches each person with compassion and encouragement.

Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, eating and food-related concerns, family of origin problems, fertility and forgiveness. Sessions are tailored to the individual and centre on realistic goals and gradual change.

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

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Sophie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with difficult life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current patterns with others and with oneself. It helps people understand connection, trust and abandonment fears, and can be useful when relationships or attachment issues cause ongoing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that could help. She sees therapy as collaborative and adjusts the plan as a client learns what works best for them.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
