About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, eating and anger. Sophie lists additional focus areas such as chronic illness and caregiver stress, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and coping with life changes. Sophie holds BACP accreditation and has several years of practice in the United Kingdom.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what feels hard. Sophie works from the belief that each person knows their own story and already has resources to build on. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful, helping people notice what matters and try manageable steps forward.
Sophie uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused methods and a client-centred stance. That mix is chosen to match each person’s situation rather than follow a single script. Conversations can include looking at thoughts and patterns, exploring feelings, and noticing values that guide change.
Her background includes work at Barnet Bereavement where she gained experience in grief counselling alongside supporting anxiety, depression and family difficulties. Sophie has four years of professional experience and offers therapy in English to people in the United Kingdom.
People interested in talking with Sophie are invited to consider what they hope to change or understand better. The first steps usually involve a short intake and then setting simple, achievable goals for therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing small actions that fit personal values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and supports clearer, practical changes for problems like stress, mood or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, trust and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss options with each person and try methods that match their needs and goals. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted as understanding grows and priorities change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments or caregiving, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions where not being on camera is preferred to save bandwidth or aid concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to make online sessions a practical part of everyday life.
