Sophia Hammoudeh, BACP

Sophia Hammoudeh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and trauma-related problems. She supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career challenges, low self-esteem and life changes. Sophia also works with concerns such as sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue and ageing and geriatric issues.

She uses a flexible style tailored to each person rather than one fixed method. Sessions focus on plain talk about what is happening now and practical steps to make daily life more manageable. Sophia aims to create space for people to describe their experience and try small changes between meetings.

Sophia combines approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and hypnotherapy. These approaches inform how she listens and the exercises she offers, but she adapts them to each persons needs and pace.

She holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. Sophia has five years of clinical experience working with varied concerns related to trauma, relationships and long-term stress.

People can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth approach that prioritises their goals. If someone prefers to work in Arabic or English, she can carry out sessions in either language. To begin, follow the sites process to match with a therapist and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can support people struggling with intimacy, abandonment or caregiving stress. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises empathic listening and working at the client's pace to build clarity and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those aims. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they take less travel time, fit into a work break more easily, and make it simpler to maintain regular meetings during busy schedules. Online work also makes it easier to continue therapy when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client check in together about what works best for each session.
