About Sophie
Sophie Lockwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works from a person-centred approach and aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sophie focuses on helping people build on their own strengths and take small steps towards change.
She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar difficulties. Sophie also has experience with addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues that follow from those experiences.
Background and approach
She helps people who are coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem and big life changes. Her background includes roles as a recovery worker and harm reduction worker, supporting people with substance misuse. Sophie has also worked with women affected by sexual trauma, exploitation and domestic violence.
That work shaped her commitment to offering steady, non-judgemental support. Sophie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She describes her approach as non-directive - she listens, reflects and helps people find their own solutions rather than prescribing answers.
In sessions she will help you understand what is happening for you now, and how past events may still affect your day-to-day life. Conversations focus on your experience and what you want to change, with practical steps agreed together. People choose Sophie when they want a warm, straightforward counsellor who listens and helps them make sense of difficult feelings.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.

Approaches Sophie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
That non-directive style means Sophie will follow your lead in sessions while offering reflections and questions that help you notice patterns. Together you will decide what to focus on and set small practical steps. This collaborative process aims to match the work to your goals and pace rather than imposing a plan.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video helps preserve face-to-face connection when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit times when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter conversations or when writing feels easier than speaking.
Using these options makes it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving or mobility limits. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the format as your needs change, helping you get consistent support in a way that works for your life.
