About Sophie
Sophie Howe is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, concentration and memory concerns, and difficulties related to parenting and family life. Sophie also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, LGBT issues, grief, and relationship worries.
Sophie uses everyday conversation and reflective listening to help people sort out what matters most to them. She encourages practical steps alongside thinking about emotions. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and on noticing what gets in the way of change.
Her background brings together several therapy styles, including cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused work, attachment-based thinking, and acceptance and commitment principles. Sophie draws on these to help people understand patterns, improve communication, and respond differently to stress and triggers.
She pays attention to the practical pressures of family life and parenting. That can mean talking through boundaries, coping strategies for tiredness or burnout, or ways to handle difficult conversations with relatives. Sophie aims to make sessions straightforward and usable between meetings.
People can expect a calm, conversational approach that keeps goals in view. Sophie asks about day-to-day routines and suggests small experiments to try between sessions. She welcomes questions about how the work will fit into a busy life and about managing specific family or parenting strains.
How sessions work
Therapy approaches and how online work fits in
Sophie draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice thoughts and patterns and to take practical steps that match their values. CBT focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep. ACT emphasises noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that matter, useful for stress, motivation and coping with unwanted feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first. This is a collaborative process that considers the client's goals, daily life and what feels most helpful in practice.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around parenting, work and household tasks. They also allow short check-ins when a full in-person trip would be hard. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time and let them bring real-life examples from home into the conversation.
