About Sophie
Sophie Howe is a counsellor who helps people who are struggling with sleep, stress and low mood. She works with common worries such as anxiety, depression, low self esteem and difficulty concentrating. Sophie explains things clearly and offers steady support while people decide what changes they want to try.
She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs how she listens and plans sessions, but she focuses on what each person needs right now rather than labels or jargon.
In sessions Sophie aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space. People can talk through past hurts, confusing thoughts or problems with motivation. She encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life and that can help improve sleep and daily routines over time.
Sophie draws on a mix of approaches, choosing what suits each person. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and will explain any suggested techniques so they make sense to the person she is working with.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns including grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, ADHD and parenting strain. Sophie also supports people dealing with chronic health challenges, body image struggles and workplace stress. She aims to help people find steadier routines and more restful sleep where that is part of the problem.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Sophie works with approaches that are straightforward to use in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values and improve day-to-day routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences affect current trust and closeness, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they will review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins around work or caring commitments. It can also let conversations focus on planning routines and sleep habits without needing to rearrange the day around appointments.
