About Sophie
Sophie Wilfin is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, grief, parenting challenges and issues around self‑esteem and confidence. Sophie also supports clients with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating issues and anger, among other life stresses.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment‑Based and Client‑Centred work. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and build on what already works for them.
Sophie draws on experience from bereavement work at Barnet Bereavement to help people process loss and grief. She also has experience supporting people through family conflict, relationship difficulties and major life changes. Sessions often focus on straightforward steps to manage anxiety and stress, and on improving communication in relationships.
She believes clients know their own stories and brings a listening style that checks understanding and reflects what matters to the person. Sophie encourages practical skills, experiments between sessions and reviewing what helps. That approach can suit people who want clear tools as well as space to talk.
Sessions are carried out from her UK practice and are offered in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options so they know which ways of meeting are available.
Therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and notice thoughts without getting pushed around by them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes where the aim is to act in line with personal values despite difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes. It is practical and problem‑focussed, commonly used for anxiety, phobias and managing day‑to‑day stress.
Emotionally‑Focused Therapy, EFT, and Attachment‑Based approaches focus on how relationships and attachment patterns affect feelings and closeness. They can help people understand painful relationship cycles and try new ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will discuss options with the client and decide together what to try first, based on the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include mixing methods or adjusting the plan as the work progresses.
