About Sophie
Sophie Robinson-Matthews is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those coping with life changes, relationship strain, trauma, parenting pressures, sleep problems and career worries.

Her approach centres on person-centred counselling, which means she meets people with warmth, acceptance and respect.
Background and approach
Sophie works in an integrative way, drawing on several evidence-informed methods so each session fits the person in front of her. She aims to help people build autonomy, improve self-esteem and find practical ways to reduce overwhelm and conflict. Sophie has a BACP credential and six years of professional experience in therapeutic roles.
She has worked in support services since 2012 and combines psychology and counselling training in her practice. This background informs a balanced style that values both insight and practical change. Sessions are collaborative and often include reflective questions to deepen self-awareness.
Sophie values straightforward tools alongside longer-term exploration so people can notice small, sustainable shifts in daily life. She is happy to use the pronouns a client prefers. Her work is delivered in English and she accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally.
Practical goals might include improving mood, managing anxiety, grieving a loss or changing unhelpful patterns so daily life feels more manageable.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss different methods with a client and agree together which to try based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is an issue, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations and at different times while keeping work practical and manageable.
