About Sophie
Sophie Howe is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, and also supports those managing focus difficulties such as ADHD and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Sophie helps people talk through what is making life harder right now. She listens to day-to-day concerns about work, relationships and parenting. She can help with sleep and eating issues, feelings of grief, and problems with motivation or concentration.
In sessions Sophie uses practical, conversation-based methods. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships and bonding are part of the problem.
Her way of working is straightforward. Sophie encourages clear aims and small steps that fit into everyday life. She and the client set goals together and review progress as they go.
Sophie has an additional focus on blended family issues and related stresses like communication problems, loyalty conflicts and co-parenting tensions. She also offers support around addiction, career strain, caregiver stress, body image and long-term health concerns. If you want to understand how an approach might help in your situation, she asks about current worries and practical goals at the first meeting.
How Sophie’s approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from unhelpful habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be useful when trust, closeness or repeated relationship conflicts are present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with the client about goals and day-to-day pressures, and together they will try methods that suit those aims. The therapist adjusts the mix of tools as progress is reviewed so the plan fits the person’s preferences and needs.
