About Sophie

Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing issues around self-esteem, confidence, intimacy, eating concerns, anger and career stress. Sophie lists Men's wellbeing among her areas of focus and works with people across a wide range of personal challenges.

Sophie believes clients hold expertise in their own lives and brings a supportive, non-judgemental presence to therapy. Her sessions aim to build on a person’s strengths while offering practical ways to cope with day-to-day strain. Conversations are straightforward and grounded, with space to talk about painful feelings and confusing situations.

She draws on several evidence-informed methods to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, supports people to accept difficult feelings while taking action that matters to them. Attachment-Based ideas help look at how early relationships shape current connections.

Sophie’s background includes work at Barnet Bereavement, where she provided grief counselling and support. She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are conducted in English and Sophie works from the United Kingdom. People who are outside the UK are not currently accepted. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Sophie uses therapies that focus on thoughts, values and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood and then try practical behaviour changes to test new ways of coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, teaches people to notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to small, value-driven steps that improve daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence current connections and helps people change how they relate to others. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss what matters to the person and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity after a move or to balance therapy with work and family commitments.
