About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and parenting challenges. Sophie also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, eating struggles, anger, low self-esteem and the practical strains of life and career change.
She describes the client as the expert in their own story and uses that view to guide practical conversations. Sessions focus on naming feelings, exploring what matters to the person and finding small, manageable steps forward. Sophie draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive and acceptance-based approaches to understand how emotions and attachment affect daily life.
Her work includes attention to attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and difficulties connected to autism and neurodiversity. She also accepts referrals related to chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and codependency. Sophie notes experience gained from bereavement services and with people navigating loss and cancer-related concerns.
Sessions are conversational and direct. Sophie listens, helps people organise their thoughts and practices ways to cope between meetings. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with patterns of thinking and with living by chosen values.
People who want clear, emotion-focused conversations about relationships and feelings often find this approach useful. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online booking flow.
How Sophie uses emotion-focused and behavioural approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and naming emotions and how they shape close relationships. It helps people recognise patterns that repeat when they feel vulnerable and practise new ways of responding to strong feelings.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports learning to notice difficult thoughts and sensations without getting stuck in them, while clarifying what matters most to you and taking small steps towards those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence present relationships and helps people make different, more secure choices in how they connect with others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with the person about what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to their needs, preferences and short-term goals. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins when people need a shorter meeting or phone-based contact. Registered or accredited professionals often find that these practical arrangements help people keep therapy consistent without changing the therapeutic aims.
