Sophie Howe, BACP

Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship worries. She supports people coping with low mood, self-esteem struggles, concentration and ADHD-related difficulties. Sophie aims to make the first step into therapy easier and less daunting.

Her sessions focus on creating an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She listens without rushing and helps people find clearer ways to respond to day-to-day pressures. Practical steps are included alongside emotional reflection so the work feels useful between sessions.

Over four years she has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and compassion fatigue. Sophie also supports those dealing with intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and career-related stress. She helps people navigate life changes such as loss or major transitions.

Sophie draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas, and client-centred practice. This means she tailors conversations and techniques to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

People who meet her can expect calm, down-to-earth language and a focus on what matters most to them. Sophie encourages setting small, achievable goals and building skills that make daily life feel steadier and more manageable.

How Sophie uses different therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then make choices that match what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and when motivation feels low. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early experiences shape current relationships and emotional responses, and it can help with intimacy concerns and patterns of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods might suit best. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into daily life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering more flexible scheduling. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist in another location, which can expand choice when looking for the right match.
