About Sophie
Sophie Robinson-Matthews offers support for a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, grief, stress and relationship problems. She also helps with parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Sophie uses a person-centred way of working that aims to create warmth and acceptance so people can feel understood and grow at their own pace.
Her style is collaborative and adaptable. Sessions are tailored to the individual and draw on different therapeutic methods to meet a person’s needs. Sophie describes her work as integrative, with person-centred practice at the core, so conversations focus on the client’s priorities and pace.
She blends conversational therapy with practical tools. This can include techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, and elements from attachment-focused work when relevant. The goal is to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and build day-to-day coping skills.
Sophie has six years of experience in therapeutic and support settings and holds BACP registration, which she references as part of her professional standing. She welcomes use of preferred pronouns and aims to support clearer communication, higher self-esteem and greater autonomy.
Her approach is encouraging and down-to-earth. Sophie aims to help people make tangible shifts in thinking and behaviour, so they can reduce overwhelm and increase enjoyment in life. She frames progress as a joint effort between counsellor and client.
How Sophie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Sophie works from a person-centred foundation, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, offering empathy and gentle reflection to help people make sense of their feelings.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she draws on. ACT helps people choose actions that match their values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings, which can suit anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early attachments influence current difficulties; these help people understand how past connections shape present reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and Sophie treats this as collaborative. She will discuss what methods might help and adjust the focus based on the client’s goals and preferences. That shared planning helps people try techniques and notice what feels most useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check available options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, such as reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday or removing the need to be on camera for every appointment. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of support when schedules or locations change.
