About Sophie
Sophie Howe works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or stuck after difficult experiences. She welcomes conversations about depression, attention differences such as ADHD, and problems with motivation, sleep or eating. Sophie speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel easier for someone who is worried or unsure.
Sophie is registered with the BACP, which means she meets professional standards for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
She has four years of experience supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and challenges at work or home. Sophie also helps with addiction-related issues, coping with big life changes and compassion fatigue. Her style emphasises an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings.
Sessions focus on what matters to the person and practical steps they can practise between meetings. Sophie draws on a mix of approaches, adapting them to each person’s needs and goals. She also works with concerns tied to attachment, adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Sophie supports discussions about intimacy, commitment and communication problems in relationships, and she can help people explore identity issues including LGBT matters. Sophie offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging so people can choose what fits their life.
The process begins by selecting Start Therapy and completing a short matching questionnaire.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sophie will discuss goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit the person, adjusting methods as sessions progress. This collaborative planning helps pick tools that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief reflections, ongoing coaching-style support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
