About Sophie
Sophie Bellamy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, self-esteem, addictions and relationship issues. She also addresses areas such as ADHD, bipolar and problems with eating, sleeping and anger.
Sophie describes her approach as integrative and grounded in developmental and relational ideas. She draws on attachment thinking and Gestalt-influenced ways of understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. In sessions she focuses on what is happening between people and how patterns start and repeat.
Her style is client-centred and collaborative. Sophie listens for what matters to each person and helps them notice thoughts, feelings and bodily responses. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make values-based choices when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way.
Emotionally-Focused and attachment-based ideas inform work on close relationships and intimacy difficulties. Sophie pays attention to emotional patterns and the ways people signal distress or need to others. This can be useful for people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or avoidant responses.
Practical issues such as coping with life changes, managing stress and improving sleep are included alongside deeper work. Sessions aim to combine reflection with small experiments people can try between meetings. Sophie accepts international clients and runs work from the United Kingdom.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sophie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, avoidance and making small, practical changes when worry gets in the way.She also works from attachment-based and emotionally-focused perspectives, paying attention to how patterns in relationships affect emotion and behaviour. These approaches help with intimacy issues, abandonment fears and difficulties forming close connections by highlighting interaction patterns to change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sophie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. The plan is shaped around what a person wants to work on and what feels useful in practice.
