Sophie Howe, BACP

Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience and uses a calm, open approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulties with focus. Sophie aims to make it easier to start talking and to keep conversations straightforward and practical.

People come to her with common problems like depression, self-esteem worries, relationship strain and grief. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, eating or sleeping problems, and career or life transitions. Sophie works with issues related to ADHD, intimacy, and compassion fatigue as well.

Her approach is conversational and client-led. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Discussions tend to look at patterns of thinking and feeling, and at ways to build more helpful routines and responses.

Sophie draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy while keeping the work grounded and accessible. She encourages clear goals and steady progress rather than a rush to change everything at once.

She offers therapy in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. Getting started involves a short matching process and then scheduling sessions according to availability. Sophie describes taking the first step as an act of courage, and she aims to provide steady support through the process.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It tends to suit people managing anxiety, low mood and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test new ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how past connections shape current trust and closeness, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods match their needs and goals. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to keep focus on what helps most.

Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins or making it simpler to schedule sessions during a lunch break or after work. It also means people can work with a therapist who is based in a different region or country while keeping the same weekly routine.
