About Sophie
Sophie Grimmett is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds a Masters degree, Level 7, from the University of Wales and describes five years of professional experience working in local counselling services and the National Health Service. Sophie offers a calm, non-judgemental presence to help people talk through worries such as stress, anxiety and depression.
Sophie’s background includes work within secondary mental health services and in NHS roles.
Background and approach
That experience means she is used to supporting people with a wide range of concerns, from trauma and grief to sleeping and eating difficulties. She also mentions work related to relationship issues, addiction and compassion fatigue. Her main approach is humanistic, which focuses on understanding each person’s experience and strengths.
She combines that with a pluralistic mindset, using self-care ideas and psychoeducation alongside other therapeutic tools. In practical terms this means sessions can include talking, learning coping strategies and trying simple exercises between meetings. Sophie aims to make sessions feel open and safe, so people can share thoughts and feelings without judgement.
She emphasises collaboration and tailoring the work to the individual rather than following a single technique. Choosing to start therapy can feel daunting and she acknowledges that. She invites people to take that first step and offers guidance through the early stages of change and self-discovery.

Online support
A pluralistic approach blends different techniques to fit the person in front of the counsellor. That might include psychoeducation about symptoms, practical self-care steps or short exercises to try between sessions. It is useful when people want a mix of talking and actionable strategies for issues like stress, sleep or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt tools as work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods feel most helpful and make changes as needed.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a lunch break or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat work well for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, travel or family commitments and help people keep continuity of care when life is busy.
