About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and parenting pressures. She also supports people dealing with issues around self-esteem, career change, eating concerns and intimacy. Sophie lists money and financial issues among the concerns she can address, alongside trauma and LGBT matters. Sophie holds BACP registration and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Sophie works in a straightforward, supportive way. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and helps them build on their strengths. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes work at Barnet Bereavement, where she supported people through loss and grief. That role shaped her approach to listening and holding strong emotions gently. She also brings experience with anxiety, depression and family difficulties from other clinical settings.
In practice Sophie draws on a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She adapts techniques to suit the client rather than using a fixed formula. The aim is to help clients find clarity, calm and new ways to cope.
Sophie offers a warm, non-judgemental space to talk. She focuses on understanding each person’s story, validating their feelings and helping them take small, manageable steps towards change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that match what matters to you. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits. It can help with anxiety, mood and confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to feelings in close relationships and helps people understand and shift emotional responses that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together you will decide what feels like the best fit for your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and Sophie will adapt methods as you progress.
If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session types are available before booking. The practical benefits include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. Many people find online sessions let them keep momentum between appointments and try techniques in everyday settings. Confirm current session options with the service when you match and schedule so you know what will work for you.
