About Sophie
Sophie Grimmett is a counsellor who draws on humanistic principles to guide sessions. She holds a Master’s degree (Level 7) from the University of Wales and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. With five years of professional experience, she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.
Her main way of working is humanistic, which means she focuses on listening and understanding each person as an individual.
Background and approach
She also uses a range of practical tools, self-care ideas, and psychoeducation. Sophie combines these methods so sessions address both immediate concerns and longer-term wellbeing. During work in local counselling services and within the National Health Service, Sophie gained experience supporting people with a wide range of mental health challenges.
She currently works as a Psychological Therapist within the NHS and has developed confidence responding to varied needs across clinical settings. In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Sophie seeks to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build coping strategies that fit their everyday life.
She encourages a collaborative style, where goals and steps are agreed together. If someone is unsure where to begin, she supports them to explore priorities, set practical next steps, and reflect on progress over time.

How Sophie works online
She also uses practical tools and psychoeducation to support change. Practical tools might include simple coping strategies for anxiety or low mood. Psychoeducation means sharing clear information about how common problems work and what small steps can help in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss different options and try out methods together to see what fits best for a person’s goals and preferences. This collaborative process means goals and techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking.

It can also allow a mix of shorter or longer sessions depending on what helps a person keep making steady progress.
