About Sophie
Counsellor Sophie Wilfin is a BACP member with four years' experience offering help for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and parenting concerns. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people with issues such as self-esteem, anger, eating concerns, intimacy-related problems and coping with life changes.
Sophie approaches sessions in a straightforward way. She treats the client as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on what is troubling someone now and on practical steps that can make everyday life easier. She uses plain language and short, focused sessions to identify patterns and small changes that can help.
Sophie draws on a range of approaches to shape the work. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking and behaviour, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and manage difficult feelings, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She also uses Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused methods when the situation calls for it.
Her background includes work at Barnet Bereavement where she supported people through loss and related issues. That experience informs her practical support for grief and bereavement, and for the wider emotional effects such events can bring.
Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process. Sophie notes that fees vary with location and that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site booking steps to complete a short questionnaire before arranging a first session.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and issues where avoidance has become a problem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It works well for anxiety, low mood and practical problems by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours.
Attachment-Based ideas focus on how past and current relationship patterns affect how someone connects with others now. This can be useful when relationship problems, intimacy issues or long-standing attachment worries are part of the difficulty.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss what seems most helpful and try different ways of working together. The choice of methods is collaborative and guided by the client’s goals and preferences.

Online work can make sessions easier to fit around daily life, allow quieter one-to-one check-ins, or avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for keeping continuity while managing other commitments.
