About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, and trauma and abuse. She works with issues such as self-esteem, eating concerns, anger, intimacy-related worries and career or life changes. Sophie approaches clients with warmth and calm, offering practical support and steady listening at difficult times.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of what is happening for them.
Background and approach
Sophie believes each person knows their story best and draws on those strengths to support change. Sessions are grounded in empathy and validation, so people feel heard before practical steps are suggested. Sophie blends several therapy styles to suit different needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to break patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based ideas are brought in when relationship patterns and past connections affect current life. Her background includes work in bereavement services where she supported people through loss and grief.
That experience informs how she holds sensitive topics and complex emotions. Sophie has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps.
Sophie helps clients build coping tools, practise new ways of relating, and make choices that reflect their values. The pace is guided by each person’s needs and the goals they want to work towards.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-led steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift low mood. It can be helpful for stress, worry and unhelpful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how past bonds shape current reactions; this is useful when relationship patterns, intimacy or family dynamics are causing distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sophie will work with each person to try different ideas and agree on what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and life circumstances guide which methods are used and sessions are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with a therapist. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who find writing easier or need support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, and help maintain continuity when in-person sessions are not possible.
