About Sophie
Sophie Robinson-Matthews is a BACP-registered counsellor who supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with life changes, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and career concerns. Sophie lists ADHD and compassion fatigue among her areas of focus as well.
Sophie works in a person-centred way at the heart of her practice. That means she aims to offer warmth, acceptance and respect so clients can explore what matters to them. She describes her overall method as integrative, drawing from different therapies to suit each person rather than using one fixed model.
Sessions are tailored to the individual and built around practical thinking and everyday habits. Sophie uses insight-oriented questions, behavioural ideas and thought-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and try out changes between sessions. She also draws on approaches that look at attachment and emotions when these are relevant.
Her background includes seven years of psychology study and four years of formal counselling training, alongside work in support services since 2012. Sophie keeps her practice up to date by learning new research and tools from psychology, neuroscience and meditative studies.
She aims to help people gain more autonomy, confidence and hope so everyday life feels less stressful and more manageable. Sophie says her role is to support clients, offer useful tools and encourage steady progress towards their goals.

How Sophie uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make room for values-driven action. It aims to reduce the impact of difficult feelings by changing the relationship with them rather than trying to remove them entirely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, and can help when trust, closeness or abandonment worries are part of the problem.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit each person's goals, needs and preferences. She adapts tools from different models so the work feels practical and relevant to everyday life.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and everyday routines. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, a focus on exercises for thinking and habits between sessions, and easier access for people who live further away. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways to help people make steady changes to their thoughts and habits.
