About Sophia

Sophia Hammoudeh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strains and work-related stress. Her approach is practical and adaptable to each persons situation.

Sophia uses a blend of talking and experiential methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work around close relationships and patterns that repeat over time. She also uses client-centred listening and brief hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what a person needs that day. Sophia emphasises small, manageable steps rather than big leaps, and she tailors tools to daily life. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises and gentle reflection on difficult memories or patterns.

Sophia has five years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is comfortable working in English and Arabic and supports clients in the UK and internationally. Fees vary with location and are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps that align with those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape reactions today, which can help when intimacy or repeated conflicts are a problem.

The right approach often becomes clear through collaboration. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, checking in together about what helps and what can be changed. This means therapy can adapt over time rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their comfort with video or audio. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to focus on skills, emotion work and day-to-day plans without requiring big changes to your routine.
