About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Sophie also works with concerns linked to trauma, intimacy, eating and anger, and LGBT-related difficulties.
Sophie aims for straightforward, respectful conversations. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and focuses on practical steps that feel manageable. Sessions are conversational, with chance to reflect, try out new thinking or coping skills, and review what helps day to day.
Her background includes work at Barnet Bereavement, where she gained experience in grief counselling alongside supporting anxiety and depression. That experience informs how she helps people talk about loss and find ways to carry on with daily life.
Sophie draws on a mix of approaches to match what someone needs. This can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to notice thoughts and choose valued action, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape feelings now.
She presents herself plainly and without judgement, aiming to listen and help clients find clarity about their next steps. People who bring worries about family, identity, or difficult emotions can explore these matters in regular sessions. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Sophie works with methods that focus on thoughts, feelings and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will treat approach choice as a collaborative process, discussing what the client hopes to achieve and adjusting methods to suit their goals and preferences. That shared planning helps set small, achievable steps rather than fixed rules.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy around work, childcare or travel because they reduce commuting time and make scheduling easier. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when they need a quick review, or video conversations when visual contact helps with emotional expression. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which option would best fit a person's everyday life and practical needs.
