Sophie Wilfin helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family strain, grief and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, intimacy or eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and life changes. Sophie is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience.

Sophie works in a down-to-earth way. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions are calm and practical. The aim is to make small changes that feel manageable. Her background includes work at Barnet Bereavement where she supported people through grief and loss.

That role shaped how she listens and responds to difficult emotions. Sophie also has experience supporting people with anxiety, depression and family or relationship difficulties. Sophie draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live with difficult feelings, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviour, and Attachment-Based ideas when relationships are central. Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ways of working also inform her sessions. Sessions are offered in English and available online by video call, phone, live chat or messaging.

Sophie aims to create a kind, steady space where people can talk, try out different approaches and practice new ways of coping. Starting therapy is about finding what helps, one step at a time.

Approach and online therapy options

Sophie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and then move towards actions that matter to them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship patterns shape current connections, which can help when relationship or intimacy issues are central. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out new behaviours to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy is offered via video call, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for full sessions that mirror face-to-face meetings. Phone sessions are helpful when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, brief exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
