About Sophie
Sophie Howe is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, concentration and focus issues, and motivation. Her work also covers a wide range of life pressures such as grief, career strain, addiction concerns, and challenges tied to relationships and intimacy.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches to help people name and understand strong feelings and recurring emotional patterns. Sophie also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support practical changes in thoughts and behaviour. Sessions use client-centred and attachment-focused ideas to keep conversations grounded in the person’s experience.
In sessions Sophie talks through what matters most to the client and helps identify small steps that can feel manageable. She pays attention to how people relate to themselves and others, and to unhelpful patterns that keep problems repeating. Discussions are direct and focused on the issues the client brings.
Sophie has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, body image and eating issues, chronic illness and pain, and a range of personality and behavioural challenges. She also works with clients exploring LGBT issues, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are conducted in English and Sophie accepts international clients. Practical details such as cost vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Sophie uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships. It is often useful when emotions are hard to put into words or when the same arguments keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is practical for managing anxiety, motivation and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and trust. That approach can help with relationship strains, abandonment concerns and issues rooted in early care.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss the different methods and jointly decide which fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
