About Sophie
Sophie Robinson-Matthews helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions. She supports those dealing with sleep problems, parenting strain, career worries, anger, trauma and compassion fatigue. Sophie also offers guidance around ADHD and related challenges.
Sophie is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and uses a person-centred approach as the core of her practice. Her sessions are built around warmth, acceptance and practical support.
Background and approach
Sophie aims to help people gain more autonomy, improve self-esteem and find hope. She encourages insight through thoughtful questions and works with each person to identify small, achievable changes. The goal is often to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day wellbeing.
In practice Sophie is integrative and draws on several well-established methods. She blends person-centred work with cognitive and behavioural ideas, emotion-focused approaches and skills-based strategies where useful. This means each session is tailored to a person’s needs rather than following one fixed model.
Sophie has six years of professional experience and earlier roles in support services dating back to 2012. She keeps up to date with psychological research and blends that learning with counselling perspectives. She is careful to recommend only approaches she has explored or that have a solid evidence base.
People meet an encouraging, uplifting practitioner who values practical steps as well as deeper insight. Sophie welcomes preferred pronouns and strives to create a respectful space where people can explore their priorities and work towards clearer, more manageable ways of living.

How Sophie works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit your goals and preferences. She often blends insight-focused questions with practical skills, and will review progress together as therapy continues.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make face-to-face interaction optional for people who prefer not to be on camera. Confirm the specific formats available when you schedule so you can pick what suits your routine and needs.
