About Sophie

Sophie Gyles is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma, grief and self-esteem concerns. She works with people respectfully and calmly, matching her approach to each person’s situation. Sophie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

She keeps sessions focused on practical steps and clear conversation. Clients can expect a personalised plan that reflects their needs and what they want to change.

Background and approach

Sophie aims to make the room feel straightforward and steady so people can talk openly about difficult things. Sophie brings three years of professional counselling experience in United Kingdom settings. That experience includes supporting people who are coping with abuse, loss, or addictive behaviours.

She also helps with relationship-related issues such as attachment, communication problems and separation concerns by talking through patterns and options. Additional areas Sophie addresses include body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, isolation, guilt and shame, and midlife concerns. Her style is practical - identifying small changes and new ways to approach recurring problems.

Sessions move at a pace that suits the person and their goals. Sophie welcomes people of diverse sexual orientations and pays attention to how identity shapes experience. She works in English and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability.

How Sophie uses evidence-based approaches online

Sophie draws on a small set of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. One approach focuses on talking through patterns of thought and behaviour to reduce anxiety and stress; this involves noticing unhelpful reactions and trying different responses in everyday life. Another approach looks at processing experiences of trauma and abuse by creating a steady pace for telling difficult stories and learning coping skills to manage strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will listen to what matters most to the person, discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to use and review progress as they go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video calls work well when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need a way to keep in touch between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and home commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
