About

About Sophie

Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps clients who struggle with attention and concentration, including attention deficit hyperactivity concerns, and people affected by trauma or abuse. Sophie aims to make the first step easier by offering steady professional support and a calm listening space.

In sessions she focuses on creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.

Background and approach

The work is collaborative and practical. Sophie uses clear language and helps people set small, achievable goals that fit their life. Her approach draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred ways of working.

She adapts interventions to the person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. That means checking in regularly about what is or is not helpful. With four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Sophie blends practical tools with warm listening.

She pays attention to relationships, attachment patterns and emotional responses when relevant to the concern. People looking for help with grief, addiction, eating or sleeping problems, parenting stress, career shifts or identity-related issues can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth approach. Sophie encourages curious, steady progress and supports people as they try out new ways of coping and relating.

Online support

How Sophie uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical techniques to challenge unhelpful patterns and build new habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they show up in relationships, helping people understand and shift the way they connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss what feels most helpful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go.

The biography does not specify session delivery methods, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can also allow for quieter check-ins, shorter sessions when needed or not being on camera if that helps someone engage. Working remotely still supports using CBT exercises, ACT practices and emotionally focused conversations, and can make regular sessions more manageable for everyday life.
