About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting matters, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and problems with intimacy, eating, anger and self-esteem. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and practise small changes between sessions. Sophie is a BACP member and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Sophie describes the person as expert in their own story and focuses on practical steps people can try. She listens and helps name what feels difficult. Sessions include talking through specific events, learning different ways to manage feelings, and experimenting with new behaviours to test what works in daily life.
She has direct experience in bereavement support, having worked at Barnet Bereavement, and has supported people with anxiety, depression and various family and relationship problems. That background informs how she helps people cope with loss and ongoing family tensions.
Sophie also works with concerns such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and commitment issues. She can help people with career worries and practical coping strategies for life changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and are set up through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Sophie uses different approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that matter to them. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and problems where avoidance has become a habit.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. This approach can help with relationship strain, intimacy problems and attachment issues that show up in adulthood.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing upsetting thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sophie will discuss each method and collaborate with the person to choose which ideas to use, based on their goals and what feels most helpful in practice.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible. Registered or accredited professionals often offer different ways to meet, so check which formats Sophie provides when you arrange a session.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
