About Sophie
Sophie Bellamy is a counsellor who supports people facing depression and many other life challenges. She specialises in trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, addiction, and relationship concerns. Sophie works with clients who want clearer coping skills and steadier day-to-day functioning.
She describes her way of working as integrative and relationship-focused. Sophie draws on attachment ideas and developmental perspectives to understand how past experiences shape present difficulties. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth, with space to talk and reflect without judgement.
Background and approach
Sophie uses several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help people live with difficult feelings while clarifying personal values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with strong emotions in close relationships.
Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive space where the client leads the pace and focus. With five years' experience, Sophie brings practical tools alongside reflective conversation. She often helps people find daily strategies for sleep, coping with stress, or handling painful memories.
Conversations include exploring attachment patterns and how they affect current relationships. Sessions are offered in English and Sophie accepts international clients. Therapy can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Getting started involves selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a brief matching questionnaire, and arranging sessions according to availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting tools, and combining approaches when useful so the work feels personalised.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging works for people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or travel while keeping continuity of care.
