About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief and loss, parenting pressures, and questions about career and life direction. Sophie also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating and body-image issues, anger, and self-esteem difficulties.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sophie uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people identify small, manageable steps they can try between meetings.
Sophie draws on experience from bereavement work at Barnet Bereavement, where she worked with grief and related family strains. That background informs how she supports people coping with loss and major life changes. She also offers support around adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, carer stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Sessions aim to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try different ways of responding. Sophie invites clients to name what matters to them and to practise simple techniques to reduce anxiety and build confidence. She works respectfully and directly, helping people break problems into steps they can manage.
To begin, people use the online matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are run through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and learning simple skills to act on those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, low motivation and questions about direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises how early and current relational patterns shape close relationships and can be useful when intimacy, abandonment or communication problems are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss these methods with the client and decide together which fits best based on needs, goals and what feels manageable in sessions. She treats this as a collaborative process and may combine elements from different approaches over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find that online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life because they can avoid travel and schedule meetings more easily. Others prefer shorter check-ins or phone conversations when they need a quieter, lower-bandwidth option. Ask about session length, frequency and practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire so the format fits everyday commitments.
