Sophie Howe offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with focus. She helps clients take small, manageable steps towards clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. Sophie writes in plain language and aims to make sessions easy to follow for someone juggling busy life demands.

Sophie has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can be shaped around what each person needs. That might mean noticing thoughts and values, working on practical skills, or exploring patterns from past relationships that still cause difficulty.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, attention and concentration difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, grief and parenting strain. She also supports people facing life transitions, career stress and long-term health challenges. Sophie aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly about thoughts and feelings.

Sessions focus on usable strategies and clear goals rather than jargon. Sophie offers straightforward feedback and helps people try things between sessions to test what works. Sessions are available across the UK and to international clients in English.

She works via video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can pick formats that fit their routine and comfort. To begin, clients use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Sophie’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and encourage small, value-driven actions that build a better daily routine.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In sessions Sophie helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries practical experiments to test new ways of responding to stress or anxiety.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating. It can help people understand recurring relationship difficulties and develop new, more helpful ways of connecting with others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sophie will discuss the options with each client and adapt methods to match personal goals, pace and comfort. The emphasis is on trying things out and adjusting what doesn’t fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel like a face-to-face conversation, phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins and text-based messaging is useful for short, ongoing support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while still using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
