Sophie Skipp, BACP

Sophie Skipp is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way.

About Sophie

Sophie Skipp is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. She draws on client-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low. Sophie practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP as a credential.

She has four years' experience supporting people through loss and major life changes. Sophie has spent much of her practice helping people cope with bereavement and ongoing grief. That work exposed her to linked problems such as identity changes, anxiety and depression.

Background and approach

She also speaks plainly about how neurodiversity can affect those experiences, including Autism and Asperger syndrome. Her sessions aim to be collaborative and down to earth. Sophie listens first, then helps people identify small, practical steps.

Mindfulness techniques may be introduced where they feel useful for managing stress or panic. She also works with concerns around self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, loneliness and workplace strain. Sophie can support people who are struggling with impulsivity or who worry about social situations and phobias.

Her approach is to focus on what the person wants to change and to build on their strengths. Sessions are offered in English and Sophie accepts international clients. She uses short, clear conversations and practical strategies rather than jargon.

People who want to explore whether she is a good fit are encouraged to make contact and ask a few questions before starting therapy.

How Sophie’s approaches translate to online work

Sophie blends person-centred listening with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to support people remotely. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, offering empathy and space to talk about what matters. This helps with anxiety, grief and low mood by giving the person a steady, understanding presence.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple breathing and awareness exercises to reduce stress and handle panic. These short practices can be used during a video call or as brief guided exercises over messaging. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals, which works well when people want fast, manageable change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sophie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt methods together in a collaborative way. That means sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed formula.

Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to revisit helpful techniques between sessions.
