About Sophie
Sophie Robinson-Matthews helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She supports those coping with life changes, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Sophie also works with people managing ADHD and offers help around attachment, body image, eating issues and family of origin concerns.
Sophie practises in a person-centred way, which means she aims to offer warmth, acceptance and genuine listening.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed programme. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods so each meeting can be adjusted to what the person needs in that moment. In practice Sophie blends approaches from psychological and counselling traditions.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural work and skills-based therapies alongside attachment-focused and acceptance-based ways of working. This mix helps with both thinking patterns and emotional or relational habits. Sophie has six years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP.
Her background includes years of support work and continued professional learning in psychology, counselling and related fields. Sessions are conversational and practical. Sophie often uses insight-oriented questions to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
The aim is to build self-esteem, increase choice and create more ease in day-to-day life. She welcomes people who prefer varied ways of working and those who want a compassionate, encouraging counsellor to help them move forward.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sophie will work with each person to explore goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adapt the work as progress and needs change rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for work, family life or when travel is difficult, while still allowing therapists to use ACT, CBT and person-centred techniques effectively in conversation and exercises.
