About Sophie

Sophie Howe helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, low self‑esteem and a range of other concerns using client‑centred and evidence‑based approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment work to support practical change. Sophie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

Sophie focuses on clear, practical conversations. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and tries out different ways of responding. Sessions involve talking, reflecting and trying small steps between meetings to test what helps in everyday life.

Her work covers common mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety and stress, and interpersonal issues like communication problems, intimacy and relationship strain. She also supports people with focus and attention difficulties including ADHD, and with grief or recovery after trauma and abuse.

Additional areas Sophie works on include addictions, body image and eating issues, parenting stresses, career pressure, chronic illness and caregiving strain. She also addresses attachment issues, abandonment and adoption or foster care concerns.

Sophie practises in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. She accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Sophie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment‑based work to guide her sessions. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small, value‑led actions even when thoughts or feelings are difficult; it can help with motivation, anxiety and low mood. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment‑based work explores patterns in relationships and how early connection styles affect current reactions and communication.

Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, try different methods, and decide together which approach suits the client best. This collaborative checking makes sure work stays relevant to everyday concerns.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and it can reduce the time needed for appointments. Some people prefer shorter check‑ins by phone when bandwidth is limited, while others like video sessions for fuller interaction; Sophie will discuss practical arrangements so sessions fit into daily life.
