How Sophie’s approaches work online
Sophie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred work to help people online. ACT focuses on what matters to you and on taking small values-led steps, which can help when anxiety, avoidance or life changes feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating to others. Client-centred work puts the person’s experience and goals at the heart of sessions and encourages honest, empathetic conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie will work with clients to decide which methods fit best, adjusting the focus as needs and goals change. That collaborative way of working means the plan can evolve as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions suit quick check-ins or when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can fit short reflections or support between calls. These options offer flexibility to fit work, family life or different schedules while keeping the therapeutic work focused and consistent.
