Sophie Howe

Sophie Howe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She works with individuals who are struggling with concentration, motivation and focus, including people affected by ADHD. Sophie aims to make the first steps toward change feel less daunting by offering steady support and practical conversation.

She uses straightforward, person-centred work to build an open space for talking about difficult feelings. Sophie draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural methods and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Her background includes four years of professional practice in the UK and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has included supporting people after trauma and abuse, and helping those dealing with grief, addiction, relationship issues and career stress.

Sophie also addresses concerns related to intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress and chronic health issues. She works with people who are exploring identity and LGBT matters, attachment and abandonment themes, and those coping with life transitions.

In sessions Sophie focuses on simple, actionable steps alongside listening and reflection. Conversations may involve looking at thoughts and behaviours, practising new responses, and setting small goals between meetings. She encourages people to move at a manageable pace while building skills that fit daily life.

How Sophie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often involves small behavioural experiments and practical exercises to try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help with trust, connection and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit a person’s goals, history and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. Clients can expect the therapist to review progress and adapt techniques as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people use video or audio in ways that feel most comfortable while focusing on practical steps, thought work and relationship patterns that translate well to remote sessions.
