How Sophie uses therapy approaches online

Sophie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, stress and life transitions.

She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand repeated dynamics in relationships and work toward more secure ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then agree a collaborative plan. She adapts methods over time as needs change rather than sticking to one fixed model.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time for appointments. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from a familiar space or who need a gentler, paced start to therapy. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use online work to offer flexible timing and practical continuity of care.
