About Sophie
Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage depression, anxiety and stress. She works with clients who are finding day-to-day life hard and those facing big transitions. Sophie uses a compassionate, down-to-earth style to make talking feel easier.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-focused work. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, as well as understanding how relationships and past experiences affect mood.
Background and approach
Sophie encourages people to try small changes that can make a noticeable difference. With four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she brings steady support and straightforward explanations. People often come with issues like low self-esteem, grief, trauma, relationship strain, addiction concerns, or trouble with sleep and appetite.
Sophie also supports people exploring attention and concentration difficulties such as ADHD. Her sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and everyday coping strategies.
Sophie helps set goals that match what a person actually wants from life rather than using technical jargon. She also works with concerns around parenting, caregiving stress, body image and career pressures. Sophie is open to working with people from LGBT communities and those navigating bereavement, anger or chronic health challenges.
The aim is to help people find clearer direction and more manageable ways of living.

Online support
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Sophie will work with each person to test what fits their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps. The emphasis is on collaboration rather than fixed methods, so people can shape the work to their needs.
Online work can make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever is convenient, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins when time is limited, and live chat or messaging suit people who prefer writing or shorter, more frequent contact. These options help people access regular support, maintain progress between sessions, and pick the format that feels most manageable.
