About Sophie
Sophie Archer helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. She also supports issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. Sophie works with questions about ADHD, attachment and abandonment, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Sophie holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom and uses a blend of approaches to meet each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than jargon. Her style is warm and client-centred. Sophie places emphasis on building trust and a calm working relationship.
Conversations aim to identify strengths, reduce overwhelm and develop workable coping strategies that fit everyday life. Sophie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
She may also use elements from dialectical behaviour therapy and Jungian thinking to help with emotion regulation and meaning-making. Therapy sessions include talking, practical exercises and mindfulness techniques when helpful. Sophie encourages small, steady changes and checks progress as therapy continues.
She invites straightforward conversation about goals, and adapts pace to match each person's needs.

Online support
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods best match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That conversation often starts in the first few sessions and may change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and text options allow quick check-ins or written reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work and try different ways of connecting with a therapist.
