Sophie Lockwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom.
About Sophie
Sophie Lockwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she holds as BACP. Sophie focuses on helping people facing depression alongside stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma.
She practices a client-centred approach. That means she listens closely and follows each person’s lead rather than telling them what to do. Sessions aim to build on people’s own strengths so they can make changes at a pace that suits them.
Background and approach
Sophie has worked across mental health settings and volunteered supporting women affected by anxiety and domestic violence. She has also worked with people dealing with substance misuse in recovery and harm reduction roles. This background gives her experience with practical, everyday challenges that come with emotional distress.
In her current role she supports women who have experienced sexual trauma, violence, exploitation and trafficking. Sophie describes her role as creating a non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful memories or current difficulties and start to understand what is happening for them now. People can expect a warm, steady presence in sessions.
Sophie offers support that is non-directive and empowering. The emphasis is on helping each person make sense of their feelings and find manageable ways to cope and move forward.

Online support
Where relevant Sophie draws on her experience supporting people with addiction, domestic violence and sexual trauma to shape conversations that feel safe and manageable. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Sophie will work with each person to decide how to proceed, checking in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when an internet connection is weak. Messaging and live chat give flexibility for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into life and to keep continuity of support even when circumstances change.
