Sophie Wilfin, BACP

Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and parenting challenges. She supports people working through trauma, intimacy-related worries, self-esteem and eating or anger issues. Sophie also offers help around career changes, coping with life transitions and areas like adoption and caregiver stress. Sophie holds BACP registration, which appears as BACP in her profile. Sophie believes people know their own story and brings a calm, encouraging presence to the room. She aims to listen closely and help clients find their next steps. Sessions focus on practical conversation and building skills to handle hard moments. Her approach draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based methods. Sophie also uses client-centred principles and elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to support emotional connection and clarity. She adapts ideas to fit each persons needs rather than following a single script. Sophie has worked in bereavement services, including time at Barnet Bereavement, where she provided grief counselling alongside support for anxiety, depression and family difficulties. Her background gives her experience with loss and the practical challenges it brings. In sessions, Sophie aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. She focuses on listening, validation and small steps clients can try between meetings. This practical, steady style is aimed at helping people find more clarity and ease in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches available for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical tasks and experiments; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and problem-solving. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connection affects current trust and intimacy; it can support people working through relationship problems and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to reflect what is most helpful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work during life transitions, caregiving periods or medical treatment that make in-person visits harder. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises, homework and conversation to work well at a distance while focusing on practical tools and emotional clarity.
