About Sophie
Sophie Bellamy helps people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, stress, addictions and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, work and career strain, and life changes such as illness or bereavement. Sophie works with people affected by ADHD, bipolar and depression and those wrestling with body image, eating or sleeping problems.
Sophie uses straightforward, relational work. She listens and responds rather than lecturing.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and on simple steps people can try between meetings. Her style aims to be warm and practical, keeping the conversation clear and focused. She draws on several approaches to shape the work.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations. Client-centred and emotionally focused ways of working prioritise the therapeutic relationship and the experience of feeling understood.
Sophie has five years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She practices from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messages depending on preference.
Practical arrangements are simple. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Sophie aims to help people build clearer choices and steadier coping from week to week.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sophie will talk through options and tailor methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are made together so the therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls recreate face-to-face contact, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging provide a quicker, lower-intensity way to check in. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, easier access for those far from services and different ways to engage depending on comfort and daily demands.
