About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties. She supports clients dealing with grief and loss, parenting strains, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Sophie also works with problems around self-esteem, eating concerns, anger, intimacy and career pressures.
Sophie believes people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives. She describes herself as a calm, listening presence who offers a warm, non-judgemental space. Sessions aim to help people name what feels hard, make sense of their feelings, and try practical steps that fit their everyday life.
Her background includes work at Barnet Bereavement, where she gained experience in grief counselling. That role feeds into how she supports people through loss and related stress. Sophie has four years of professional experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
In session she draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Emotionally-Focused ideas. These methods are used to help people change unhelpful patterns, manage anxiety, and improve important relationships.
Practical concerns are part of the work. Sophie aims to help people develop clearer communication, more reliable coping tools, and confidence in making decisions. She encourages small, achievable steps so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
How Sophie uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It often involves practical exercises and steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle problems that feel overwhelming.
Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, and can help when relationship patterns or intimacy issues cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and decide together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may mix elements from different approaches as needs evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower-bandwidth options; Sophie will discuss what will work best for day-to-day life and adapt the format to practical needs.
