About

About Sophie

Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and parenting pressures. She also supports clients with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem and issues around intimacy and eating. Sophie works in a direct, down‑to‑earth way and encourages people to use their own strengths in making change.

Sophie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She offers a warm, non‑judgemental space to talk through what feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

Her approach aims to listen closely, validate emotions and help people find clearer next steps. Sophie invites people to reflect on values and small actions that fit their life. Her background includes work at Barnet Bereavement, where she gained experience in bereavement and grief counselling.

That experience is combined with broader practice helping with anxiety, depression and family difficulties. Sophie has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

In sessions she draws on several practical methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment‑based ideas. These tools are used to help people manage difficult emotions, notice unhelpful patterns and build more helpful daily routines. Sophie explains things plainly and keeps tasks achievable.

People who come to Sophie often want calm, steady support while they work through a life change or a painful event. She focuses on practical steps and on helping people reconnect with what matters to them.

Online support

Working online with evidence‑based approaches

Sophie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps in that direction, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of unhelpful thinking and testing out different behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie treats this as a joint process and will discuss different methods with each person. Together they look at the client's goals and preferences and decide what feels like the best fit for their situation.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep check‑ins brief when needed. It can also allow conversations to continue while someone manages a life change, caregiving responsibilities or health challenges. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists listed here, adapt techniques so they are practical and useful when delivered at a distance.
