About Sophia
Sophia Hammoudeh is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and addiction. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and career worries. Sophia works in English and Arabic and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Sophia chooses a flexible, person-focused way of working. She tries to match her approach to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and conversational, giving space to talk through problems and try different ways of coping. She draws on several approaches to guide sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action.
Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationships affect current patterns. Client-centred work means the conversation follows the client’s pace and priorities. Sophia has five years of experience as a BACP counsellor.
That background informs how she balances active tools with a listening style. She often uses mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques to help people manage distress and improve connection with others. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
The format can be chosen to fit schedules, practical needs and comfort with being on camera. To begin, people follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Sophia works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions based on what matters to them. ACT is often useful for anxiety, recurring worry and life changes because it focuses on values and practical steps.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when trust, intimacy or repeated relationship struggles are the main concern. In sessions the focus is on understanding patterns and trying different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit. This collaborative process means methods can be mixed or adjusted over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is closest to a face-to-face meeting and suits deeper, visual conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or geographical limits, and to keep contact going when life is busy.
