About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family strain and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing grief, identity concerns and problems with self-esteem. Sophie works in English and practises from the United Kingdom with a BACP registration and four years of professional experience.
Sophie offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what feels difficult. She believes each person knows their own story and is able to use their strengths to find changes that fit their life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people feel heard, understood and clearer about next steps. Her background includes work at Barnet Bereavement, where she gained experience in grief counselling. She has also worked with anxiety, depression and various relationship and family issues.
This practical experience informs how she supports people through loss and life transitions. Sophie draws on a blend of approaches in sessions. She may use acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients identify values and take small steps.
Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Attachment-informed thinking can help when relationships and connection are the focus. Therapy sessions are conversational and collaborative.
Sophie listens closely and helps clients set achievable goals. People who want a supportive, steady approach to stress, parenting pressures or grieving will find clear, practical steps alongside emotional support.

How Sophie’s approaches work online
Sophie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps in line with what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation problems where practical action helps alongside emotional work.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns and habits that feed distress, and to teach simple exercises that change unhelpful reactions. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie discusses clients' needs and preferences and then agrees a collaborative plan. She checks in about what helps and adapts tools and pace as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
