Sophie Sinclair-Brown offers person-centred therapy that puts the client at the heart of every session. She is a BACP member and brings three years of hands-on experience to her practice. Sophie aims to build a warm and accepting space where people can talk about what matters to them.

Her style is gentle and non-directive, allowing clients to lead the topics they wish to explore. She uses Person-Centred Therapy to help with mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and with anxiety and stress.

Background and approach

Sophie also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, eating concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Communication problems, shame, isolation and questions about sexuality are within her focus areas as well. Sophie has worked with people facing relationship difficulties and with those coping after bereavement.

She has experience supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and people navigating complex mental health challenges. Her queer identity informs an affirming approach for LGBT clients. Sessions are conversational and reflective rather than directive.

The counsellor listens closely and mirrors back what she hears to help clients notice patterns and feelings. Over time this can help people find their own answers and build self-trust. Sophie works online with clients in the United Kingdom.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to the right counsellor.

Person-Centred Care and Online Support

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on an authentic, accepting relationship where the counsellor listens without directing the conversation. This approach helps people who want time and space to understand their feelings, priorities and values rather than learn specific techniques. It can be useful for issues like depression, anxiety, grief and questions about identity.

The emphasis is on understanding your experience from your point of view. Sophie will work collaboratively to decide how sessions unfold and what to focus on. Finding the right approach is part of the work together, and she will check in about preferences, goals and what feels most helpful for you.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life, while still allowing consistent therapeutic contact.
